When is Breaking the Law Justified?

1. List five purposes of the government

One purposes of the goverment is to protect the people. Another purposes is to help the people get jobs so they can generate other things in the country. The goverment purposes is to make money and make sure that it is authentic. The goverment purposes is also helping people to get heathcare. A goverment purpose is basically to run their country.

2. Would you be willing to join a revolution if our goverment was not fulfilling the purposes of goverment you listed above? Why? Why not?

I would be willing to join a revolution if our goverment was not fulfilling the purposes of goverment. In fact these are some now day problems that are goverment are facing and if thier was a revolution started I would join it. The reasons why I would join a revolution is because to me the goverment has drop the ball in many ways a goverment is meant to help thier country not hurt them. I don't understand how other countries could have free heathcare and things are more stable then a country that charges a arm and legs for healthcare for their own people.

Primary Source Document Reflection

Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family

- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?

That they where very serious about there family life and how the husband and wife treat each other.

-What surprised you the most about what you read?

Nothing that I read surpised me there was somthings points that I agreed with and think that some people get twisted about how the handle there marriage.

- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.

The American life today at frist had gotten away from the basic way of thinking but in a way we are getting back to it. The colonial era was on the right path but they just took it to the extreme .

If you decided to immigrate

1.2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

1. What can movtivate immigrants to come to the U.S. is the hope and dream to have a better life here than where they are coming from. They also may want to become wealthy and have their own business. They could also want to show there family and friends that it is possible to have freedom and to have a better life. What they gain is a state of having more to live with being more happy. What they will lose is aome of there culture and being with there family over there.

2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

2. If I was to immigrate somewhere else it most likely be for economic reasons. Just like most Americans today that move from state to state for a better job or to make more money. That would be the main and only reason why I would immigrate somewher else. I would also move for economic reasons because I believe that economic places have better school and things that would effect my family.
