None of us can tell you what the right degree is for you.

What do you want to do with your degree? What career field do you want to pursue? That is ultimately going to direct you toward a graduate program - or not. You may not even need a master’s degree for the jobs you’re interested in. The best path may be through internships.

If you do want to pursue a master’s degree, a degree having anything to do with literature does not seem to be the best choice for someone who is interested in working in government. Degrees such as a Master of Public Administration are centered around practical skills for managing and directing government bureaucracies.
