Homework #10

I think that ferderalism is a good idea because it has more power that the others. It also controls on what types of laws that the state plans. Its important to know who is the more powerful because if everyone has power, then no one would go anywhere. The state would just create new laws or even a government on their own. This is why ferderalism is a good idea.

Homework #9

The reason why the U.S constitution was needed is probably because they needed to maintain the government in control. I think that before the U.S constitution, the government was probably a mess. the reason why is because people did whatever they wanted but got out of control. The only solution that they had is to create a constitution in order to control the government and what they do. That's the only reason why they U.S needed a constitution.

Homework #8

In my opinion, Independence was the only option for colonist because first of all, the government wasn't helping out the people. The government created problems for the people. For example, the stamp act in which every item that was bought had to have a stamp on it and the tea act in which the government added tax to tea. Also lets not forget about the Boston Massacre in which the soldiers shoot a crowd of people. I think that the colonist would not be able to work things out with the king because the king might not let them and might want more power over the people. This is why Independence was the only option for colonist.

Homework #7

I think that a direct democracy may not always work in the United States because people are the ones that make the decision on what they want in their Government to do. Some of the decisions that people make are not always suitable for others. In my opinion, I think that representative democracy is actually working in the United States because so far, its maintaining the control of society and what the people want in the government. If the United Sates was a direct democracy, the reaction of the people would be devastated because some of the decision that the government takes are either good or bad for society. The government might have more power in which people would be helpless.The people government for me is the one in which we have today.The reason why is because its best to hear different ideas from other people in order to live a better life. Its not always perfect but it helps us live society in which people have different opinions. Also that it maintains the government in balance. This is what i think about democracy
