Answer 1

The advantages of federal government:

1. The laws are passed in one sovereignty.

The disadvantages:

1. Too many rules will be passed making the people disappointed will be the cause of too much Propaganda!

Answer 2

Disadvantages:

• There may be infringements on other states, often causing rivalry and competition.

Advantages:

• There are several checks and balances so the National government and the state governments.

In my personal opinion, a federal system is better then a unitary system of government or a confederation. In France, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, they have a unitary system. This means that the central government always has the final say. In Switzerland, they have a confederation, where the states are completely independent. Switzerland's central government only becomes involved with common concerns.

Answer 3

Advantages:

- Local governments understand local issues better, therefore can solve issues more efficiently, and usually with better results

- Federal government has a workload taken off them since responsibilities are given to provincial and municipal governments

Disadvantages:

- Disputes may occur between the levels of government. For instance, which level of government is responsible for a certain job is unclear.

Answer 4

Pros- America is less likely to be able to take over all of the colonies together in confederation, than they would be to take over one colony alone. Also, the people who organized confederation would pay for your debt. There would also be a railway connecting all of the colonies of Confederation together, so that they could easily go to and from the colonies, instead of walking. The system of government is also very good to, and there are some responsible leaders.

Cons- If you joined Confederation, you lose your identity as a lone colony, and you can't make AS MANY of your own decisions. You can still make some decisions though.

Answer 6

A federal government? nothing, if it is a fair system enforcing the rules set without adding as you please. all laws not stated in the constitution such as gay right, are under state jurisdiction. which was its intended function. but when a state makes a law not otherwise specified by the constitution and the federal government intervenes without or against public demand, then you have a mafia like gang with unlimited resorces and the ability to watch and listen to you and your family as they so choose. thank bush jr. for cheney and jr.'s evil little but baby, "The Patriot Act."

wake up intelligent life, before you loose more of the first and the rest of the second.
