Having read the essay The Purpose of Government by Anon A. Muss I identified a number of incorrect word usage cases. By incorrect word usage cases I mean the cases where the writer could have chosen a better word or phrase in order to make the paper sound more concise and clear. Here are several examples with my explanations.

This reduces the number of words used in the sentence, which are counterproductive and also brings better accuracy to what the writer is passing across. Moreover, affective, does not relate to productivity, but relates to emotions, which is different from the intended meaning.
In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the writer should use the word, issues, rather than, things. This brings a concise meaning to the statement, as it relates to politics. Use of the word, things, generalizes the meaning and can be misguiding to the readers.
In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the writer used the word, worker. This generalizes the element of service of the government and loses the intended meaning and grammar. Instead, the word servant brings more accuracy to the meaning intended helping the readers understand with ease.
In the second sentence of the same paragraph, the writer uses the word said at the end. It would bring more meaning to the statement if the writer used the word, stipulates. Other that the word, said, the writer should use the proper verb tense and agreement, which is says. The word used makes it seem as if the constitution is no longer effective or legally binding. This is due to the fact that, the word used is in the past tense.
In the fourth sentence of the second paragraph, the writer uses the word, themselves. This is repetitive since the word, everyone, has already been used. Removing the word themselves, from the sentence will thus improve the meaning of the sentence and grammatically improve quality.
In the first sentence of the third paragraph, the writer uses the phrase, those people. ...
