1. The five main purposes of the government, to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to ensure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty.
2. Yes. If they are to establish justice than I would like to see that and if they were not doing it than I would have to because we couldn't have bad people walking around or terrorists everywhere.

Account of the Slave Trade
1. I learned that back then everything was different. Life was more hard. You could have been traded to another place for cash crops. If you were traded you could have been brought to the America's on a ship with 300+ people and you would have been stuffed in a tiny tiny ship.
2. What surprised me those most would have been how they were brought here because they were stuffed in a ship and if you had to use the bathroom you would have just had to use it and it was so hot that it smelled the ship up and you could have been there for months at a time. While it was so hott people actually died from suffocation, and diseases were on the boat so you could die from diseases.
3. Now days you have freedom. Back then you had no freedom unless you were someone big in the world. You get to go out and make money and lots of it. Back then you would work all day for 12 cents and I make that much times ten just to walk into work. There was slavery and there is no slavery now days. You are you own person and no one owns you unless you go to jail. There is still trades going on. alot stayed the same.

Should I stay or Should I go?
1. Immigrants are motivated to come to the United States for several reasons. One being they would be able to have better crop lands and land in general to do what they need to. They also have a chance to make alot more money in doing so or just make money in a job. They would also have to think that they could lose contact with friends and family, which also could cause problems and make them want to move back.
2. I would move somewhere where what I do could make me more money than it does here. I would do it both for money and economic reasons. I also don't think I could move away from the U.S because I would have to learn a new language and I would have to learn a different way of living.
