HW 10/22/2010

The Articles of Confederation, the first government of the United States, was set up with very little power over the states. This was done as a result of a fear, or distrust of a strong central government. This likely came from the colonist's experiences under Britain in the 1760's.

Today, many people continue to distrust the Federal Government. In your opinion, is this distrust justified? Or, is it OK to trust your federal government?

Reflect on this question, and write a reaction of at least 50, but no more than 100 words.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

In my opinion, to trust your federal government is up to you or not. If the government makes poor decisions then i would most likely distrust the federal government, considering the fact that some decisions could be life changing. But of course it would be best if you COULD trust your government, and you should be able to.

Well, if the people don't trust the federal goverment is because they are a really bad goverment and I guess they don't like to hear the peoples opinions to make the state a better state. So I think we should not trust the federal goverment because they are really bad

I think it is okay to trust your federal government because they can protect you. They can protect you by giving us laws and protection. For the rest, the law making, the control of vote and more to depend on our government. The federal government is just a little part. We have a strong government.
