"Documents are the historical record of the democracy." Information provided in background records is important due to the fact that everyone wants further knowledge of something before they partake in it. I believe that the government should provide information to both the public and the media, without knowledge of such information how can we expect to live in a democratic society? I agree that background information with regards to buying a house and raising a family is extremely important in many ways. Locating sex offenders, crime rate and finding the best public school systems are just a few advantages in background research when buying a home. I like how this article provides information regarding the whereabouts of certain documents and how to obtain insight on different background information. Providing the public and the media with such information is important to our democratic society, without these documents people become disconnected and unaware of information that can be helpful to everyone.
