~Thomas Jefferson
In a democracy knowledge is truly power. Transparency of process in government keeps citizens abreast of what government is doing in real time. Transparent processes in government assure that the acts of elected officials reflect the will of the citizenry; for it is when elected officials and citizens work toward the same purposes that government truly works with the most efficiency and the least friction. A government that affords sufficient time to reflect upon, and to understand, its proposed actions shows respect for, and confidence in, its citizens. Transparent governmental processes make the citizenry partners in knowledge with the government. Such shared knowledge not only assures citizens that their government has nothing to hide, but also evidences a healthy willingness by the government to have citizen input from the very inception of proposed actions. Such a government reflects Alexander Hamilton?s assertion that ?The confidence of the people is easily gained by a good administration.?
The courts have recognized that the public's right to know what the government is doing is protected by the First Amendment.
Indeed, a democracy cannot function without government transparency and the ability of the people to hold elected officials and other government actors accountable.
