The 1916 Organic Act

The 1916 Organic Act established the National Park Service, a government agency meant to preserve the environment and provide enjoyment to the public. To me, the use of government power is not an issue, for I firmly believe in total government control of all affairs. However, the government's purpose is to prevent chaos and violence among humans, and I am unsure of how a park service would contribute to peace. Providing entertainment and a clean environment may prevent societal chaos, but government efforts may be better invested in other causes, such as a stronger police force. I do not feel that the enactment of such measures is beyond government power, but I question how wisely the power was used.
