Need help again what makes the united states independant?
here is my essay need 15 more seconds of opinions on this topic: Is the United States truly independent? Webster’s Dictionary defines independence as the quality or state of being independent. Many people believe the United States is independent. Do you agree? Ultimately the question is: Is the United States truly independent? Our country is known for its innovative ideas and democracy. The United States freed itself from a tyrant, England. Among other things, it freed itself from paying “unjustified†taxes. In a way it got rid of its debt. Soon, however, the United States would face its own problems with debt . As our definition of independence states, independence is a state or quality. Today, our state or quality does not seem independent. Everyone seems punished by debt, whether it be their own or someone else' s. We pay taxes for bail-outs when, instead, those taxes should be going toward improving communities,education and helping homeowners keep their homes. This country is basically like a stock in the stock market. Just like investors would pay to support a company, other countries pay to support our country. Our country is not truly independent because we owe so much money in “loans†to other countries. In some opinions we are not self-sustaining. Going to other countries for oil, manufacturing, and coal suss keeping us dependent. Coal alone sustain half of our country’s electricity consumption. If it were not for the “kindness†of other countries to help us pay off our debt,  the United States would no longer exist. Others similar opinion is that when Abraham Lincoln kept the southern states from quitting the union (which was against the Constitution) he made it clear we were one nation. That was the real reason behind the Civil War. According to the Constitution the states were supposed to govern themselves as separate territories but unite during war. The Constitution ,however, was only followed in those times which goes to show that the Constitution is nothing and can be changed or disregarded at will. We were a dependant nation ever since Abraham Lincoln Another opinion I can say is that the United States in most dependent on its own citizens. In order for any democratic process to work, the citizens need to play an active role in electing governments, voting on referendums, paying taxes, and providing goods and services to their fellow citizens. So it all depends on an individuals perspective. Individuals in tight situations might agree that the United States is dependent. If someone is doing well there opinion might be .â€The American people are those that make America great-- not imported oil, or any other exterior force.â€Although peoples opinion may vary from their situation every opinion has the United States in some way a dependent country.

We are not truly independent because We owe China so much and we need oil from from foreign lands. But with our military capabilities is where our thoughts of indepence come from. It is probably impossible for any nation to be truly independent. If they were they would have to be a small country and the small countries are not going to have the military reserve needed.~
