Need To know what does and doesn't make the united states dependant?
Here is my essay need one more minute worth of writing for a speech please help: 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. 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.†But in all opinions the United States in different ways is dependent.

I'd say no, 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 is only followed in good times which goes to show that the constitution is nothing and can be changed or disregarded at will. we are a dependant nation since Abraham lincoln. the following is all opinion because I'm not an expert.
