Our country is faced with a lot of issues right now. Gasoline prices are through the roof, we are on the verge of an economic collapse, and the war in Iraq wages on. Our current presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, have discussed and debated these issues at length.
The English colonists living in America were also faced with may issues. They felt that their civil liberties were slowly diminishing, and England was placing too many restrictions on their economy. Eventually, things would escalate to the point of revolution.
Questions to Consider:
When examining the past and present, what are the government's responsibilities to its citizens? What are they obligated to provide to us? Do you feel our government is currently fulfilling their end of the bargain? Why, or why not?
