Americans have only achieved their American Dreams to some degree.

Although, every American’s Dream is different.

An example of how some American’s only achieve their dream partially is how Rose achieved her dream of making her own way in America.

However, she did not achieve her dream of not becoming a parent since she has to take care of her little sister.

In conclusion, the majority of American’s only achieve their dream partly.

America wanted to be democratic because we wanted a say in our government not just for voting but also about protecting the best interest of all people for examples protect human rights, quality of life, and the infrastructure of the country

Checks and balances are used to assure that one part of the government does not have too much control.

We became a democratic government in 1776 when we declared independence from great britain.

A democratic government should reflect the wishes, desires , and values of the society it governs.

Examples Every person has the right to support themselves.

Group # 16

The American Dream has changed over the early 1900’s to today because the American Dream in the 1900’s immigrants from parts of Europe, China and other places wanted to have land, freedom, money and a better life. The American Dream today is to have the newest things like the newest cars, phone, house, etc, and to be super rich without working for it. Immigrants wanted that American Dream because they wanted to have a safe, successful life; whether that that meant leaving their country because of overpowering rulers, wars, famines or just wanted to come to America because the streets were “paved with gold”. Today people wanted that American Dream because they expected to be given things without working for it.

The American Dream then:
- Wanted freedoms
- safety
-education
-land
-money
- better life

The American Dream today:
- the newest items
- lots of money
-big houses
- education
