1. Do you think the colonies had good reason to declare Independence? Why?

• Yes, if I was a colonist I would definitely declare independence because I would rather pay taxes to my own community than to an other country who actually earn money because we payed them.

2. Should one country be able to colonize another? When should a colony be granted Independence?

• I don't think a country should be able to colonize another because in every case this has happened the power has been abused. I think that if England had helped people with moving to the US the only fair thing to do would've been to pay them a reasonable sum to thank them. I'm totally against the regime that England and other countries runned.

3. The Bill of Rights guarantees Americans "the right to bear arms". Many Americans still feel this is important for personal safety and in case they need to revolt  against their own government, They argue that the Minutemen and the local militias only won the fight for Independence beacause they had firearms.

What do you think?

Should everyone have the right to bear arms? All kinds of arms?

• I think that the socitey would be safer if only educated people like the police and the military bear arms and not everyone else. If everyone had the right to bear arms, we're not just giving the right to normal people but also criminals. In my opinion school-massacres are happening way to often in the US and i don't think the number would've been that high if every person had the right to bear arms.

4. If you were to present your nation's history in the same way as above, which events would you choose? Why?

- List the events and write a couple of sentences about them.

• It was actually a 10 years old boy that drew the Norwegian flag, but his dad is getting the honor of it because it was him that showed the proposal for the government.
• When the 2. worldwar started, Norway declared to be neutral and not participate in the war. But after a year our got attacked by German troops.
