Unit 2: Assignment 1

5 Purposes of the Government

1. Maintain the law and keep order.
2. Controlling and training the Military
3. Make laws.
4. Collect taxes
5. Assign Representatives

I would definitely be willing to join a revolution against the government if it got out of hand. Honestly with all the crazy stuff that has been going on lately I am surprised that there hasn’t already been a revolution. There are so many people mad at the government for fighting this war, and at Bush. I wouldn’t join one at this moment for these reasons, but if the government ever tried to take away our free will, and enforce outlandish laws I would definitely be up for a fight.

Good list, but I'm not sure what you're getting at with #5- the people elect their representatives.

Your second response is very good because of the details you use to defend your argument.

Well written. As is you earned 18/20 points. Try to come up with original titles for your posts, ok?
