The Election Of 1800
Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams
Why England is a Better Ally
England had one of the most powerful militarys at the time. Although the French did come to our aid in the Revolutionary War, the XYZ affairs turned me off to the whole country.
Strong Military
Yes, because without a strong military other countries would walk all over us. We wouldn't be able to defend ourselves against an outside attack. We would be virtually defenseless.
National Govt. vs. State Govt.
Having a strong national government insures that everybody is equal. With states rights some states have legalized marijuana and others are 100% against it. I think either every state has it legalized, or none do at all.
