unit 2 : assignment 1

1. 5 purposes of government are to maintain a balance of the people, protect people from other foreign attacks/invasions, to keep a system of money running, to provide public services, and schooling.
2. If there was a revolution going on because our government wasn’t fulfilling the purposes of government, then yes, I would most likely join. Now if there were things that could be taken away from me, such as my children (that I would probably have by that time in my life), or their freedom, then I might not do it. But if I could fight for something meaningful that would make a change that goes beyond my self, then I would do it. I just wouldn’t want to jeperdize my children’s freedom or their chances that they have to do something meaningful with their life.
