That might cause a revolution because we have a bad president but people would not start a revolution because of that]]> 2019-09-27 18:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390706791 24contrerasml https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390706901 I think we will get to a point of revolution against the government because of how many different opinions there are. Many people are starting to protest and stand up for their own opinions, and in the future I could see another revolution happening though it's not likely it will be through war with guns and more like that and more of an online debate, as we are in a digital phase these days. It won't happen soon, but I could see it happening eventually because people get angered very easily.]]> 2019-09-27 18:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390706901 24mourerej https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390706920 I do not think we would ever get to a revolution against the government because the government has so many parts, all will balanced power. Not to mention with the different terms if you don't like someone then you wait for their terms to end and vote for a different candidate.]]> 2019-09-27 18:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390706920 24spittlecc https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708055 I think we might get to a point of revolution because many people have such strong opinions, and a speaking about what they believe in. People with different opinions will begin to get in to conflicts which might lead to a revolution.]]> 2019-09-27 18:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708055 24tsaiar https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708089 I don't think we would ever get to revolt against the government because the government is pretty strong and has power over us. Many of the people in the U.S would not revolt even if a revolution sparked and I think people know better than to mess with a good system. Although the system of government we have is not perfect it is good enough and there is no need for revolt.]]> 2019-09-27 18:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708089 24ramirezd https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708248 I do believe a revolution against our government is likely. After all, people are protesting for very similar ideals as in the Revolutionary War. People in this country are constantly asking for positive change, but receive no response. I personally believe the citizens are reaching their breaking point. For example, scientists are now realizing that our planet will become uninhabitable if we don't fix climate change. The government chooses to ignore the warnings to maximize their profit. Another reason is for the impeachment of our president, and to fix the injustices that he has caused. It won't be long until United States citizens fight back against our government.]]> 2019-09-27 18:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708248 24wrightks https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708272 I believe that we may get to a point in revolution against the government at the moment. For one, the state of the world right now is not necessarily too great, and it appears that if the divide between nations continues, there will inevitably be a war. If we keep our same principles and selfish looks, others will eventually turn on the government. Also, we currently have so many issues when it comes to equality, freedom, and basic rights. We are indeed making steps forward to make all men equal once again, but we are also experiencing issues because of so many riots and disagreements. Also, if climate change does not get dealt with sooner or later, there will be others who turn on large corporations and finally snap on the government due to fear of our extinction as humans.]]> 2019-09-27 18:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390708272 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390709080 I do not think a revolution against the government would happen, or at lest not any time soon. The government its self seems to be some what stable at the moment, so I feel like very few people would want to revolt against them and of those who would they probably would't be able to get enough people to take down the whole government. I truly don't think it would every happen any time soon.]]> 2019-09-27 18:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390709080 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390709125 I don't think a revolution against the government is likely. I think even if there was talk of a revolution, most people wouldn't really do anything. Also, the government is very strong and has a lot of power, so I don't think we would be able to do very much. Also, without government we might be thrown into chaos. ]]> 2019-09-27 18:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390709125 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390710668 I don't think that a revolution will break out within our government.  However I do believe there will be disagreement.  I think people will take upon silent protest like Martin Luther King Jr. did, to solve their problems.  Also depending on what the protest is the government could vote in congress and the house of representatives to decide what to do.]]> 2019-09-27 18:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390710668 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390710747 I don´t think that there would ever get to a point where we would rebel against the government. Although some people might think some of the laws that they have decided for us are silly, laws are for protecting the rights of the Americans. Also, since the Declaration of Independence was signed by men of each delegation, ]]> 2019-09-27 18:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390710747 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390710924 I think that there is a possibility that there could be a revolution against the government. I  think this because there are so many uncalled   for laws being made. Citizens with different opinions or different perspectives might argue against the governments opinions or perspectives which could lead to a revolution

There would also not be very many people with power that could help with major problems in the United States, it would be one main person making the decisions and it could lead to bad things like making the problems worse or creating new problems.]]> 2019-09-27 18:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390711178 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390711552 I don't think that there will be a revolution against the government. The government is very powerful although it still is likely. There are many different citizens out there in the world with different opinions, you never really know.]]> 2019-09-27 18:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390711552 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390711594 I don't think people in modern times will ever go to war with the government. First of all, even if thinks get really out of hand in the government, people would probably be to afraid to "go to war" with them because they would win. Second, our nation has a system of democracy, so over 100,000,000 people would have to vote for one person. Also, if the government or an official is very bad, there is a system of impeachment.]]> 2019-09-27 18:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390711594 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390712030 I think there could be a potential revolution against the government, but for the most part, there will most likely not be one. I think this, because the government is very powerful, and the people will not be able to beat the government because of all the power they obtain.]]> 2019-09-27 18:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390712030 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390713273 I do not believe that there will ever be a revolution against the government. I think that people know how strong and powerful the government is and I don't think anyone would really start to get people to rebel against the government. ]]> 2019-09-27 18:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390713273 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390714204 2019-09-27 18:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/390714204 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391104781 I don't think that in modern times we would ever need a revolution against the government. The government today is a lot more powerful than it was before. Also, there are so many more people in the US now-a-days. This means that if some people did start a revolution, the opposing side would win and their would be a lot of bloodshed. ]]> 2019-09-30 00:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391104781 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391133159 2019-09-30 03:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391133159 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391507715 I don´t believe that there would ever be a revolution against the government in modern day. The government has so much power now, much more than it did back in the day. People would be too hesitant to start a revolution against the government considering that the government would win because of the power that they hold.]]> 2019-09-30 18:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391507715 24mairsmg https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391517868 I don't think that there would be a revolution against the modern day government. Although lately there has been some people that are against the presidential election, but I still believe that people aren't mad enough to have a revolution. Another reason I think that a revolution won't happen is because people aren't enthusiastic enough about it. In the past wars, people didn't have technology and were more enthusiastic. I think that technology has somehow made people somewhat more passive, and I think that citizens would rather not start a revolution in the modern day. ]]> 2019-09-30 18:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391517868 24likarkr https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391521674 In this time of much division, I do not believe we will revolt against our government. While some things may be problematic, we have the total rights to get rid of any leaders that are disliked, although it will take time and organization. The system of government we have functions for our country, if we all play our part and vote for what will help improve it overall. The people of our country are also rather separated, with the two parties, and even more individual ones, it would be hard for all to come up with one general solution to our problems that all could be satisfied by.]]> 2019-09-30 18:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391521674 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391522041 Even though we are in a time of political struggles, I do not believe we will have a revolution. This is because we still have power and the president doesn't have absolute power. Also, there are so many people in this country, so it would be hard to unite them all against the government.]]> 2019-09-30 18:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391522041 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391525274 I don't think there would be a revolution in today's government, because ]]> 2019-09-30 18:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391525274 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391619729 even though of extremely different and similar political views, there will most likely not be a revolution because the citizens can vote to put someone in the government, or we can vote to take someone out. Also government leader, such as the president have limited amounts of time within office.]]> 2019-09-30 23:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391619729 24ackermanlk https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391681156 Even with many political disagreements at the moment, I do not think there will be a revolution against the government. If citizens really did not like a leader, the government is set up where he can be impeached. There are 3 branches go government, causing not one person to have to much power. The government is also much to powerful for ordinary citizens ti try and fight, they have bombs and a whole army at their disposal. This would cause many civillion deaths, and would make a revolution unlikely. ]]> 2019-10-01 04:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391681156 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391688408 In this politically divisive time, I do not believe that the American people will experience a revolution in the near future. In America, we the people have the right to vote someone out of the office or vote someone into the office. We do not need a revolution. Most issues can be handled rationally. Also, some of the issues at hand are not worth a revolution. Our only civil war started on April 12, 186. This war sparked over an extremely painful and important subject that caused excruciating amounts of controversy--slavery. Most events today are not worth dying for, like slavery was. Dying because you fought to end slavery was great, but dying because your taxes were raised is just foolish.]]> 2019-10-01 05:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/391688408 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392261124 In today's politically divisive time I believe we could get to a point of revolution. Our government is very ineffective and can't get any laws made, good or bad. Gun violence is getting worse and people have already been protesting it and not much has changed. We also have the president that has had the most disapproval among the losing voters ever. In years past the losing voters would be a little upset but wouldn't really care, but with this president they are running an impeachment campaign and are protesting the president often. If that weren't enough, we are burning bridges with old allies and are making allies with countries we have never trusted before. ]]> 2019-10-02 05:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392261124 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392541876 In this politically diverse time, I do believe we will get to a point pf revolution, just not like it was in 1775. We would most likely not have an all out shooting war, but more of a political war. With the divide in our country right now, it may even be a civil war. There is a lot of suspicion of our current government being involved in illegal acts, and hatred towards minorities. If they refuse this when proven, and lead others to corruption to protect themselves, then the people will have to rise up and stand together. Also, with many wanting things like gun control and LGBTQ+ rights, with laws not being made to protect our citizens, they may protest. ]]> 2019-10-02 15:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392541876 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392545933 During today's times I believe we will get to a point of revolution. We would rebel if the government were to raise taxes too much, some people don't have as much money to spare on taxes, and the more you own, the more you have to give. This, i a way, defeats the purpose of being wealthy. We'd also rebel if they had class differences based off of wealth or race, etc. This is unfair and everyone should have equal rights.]]> 2019-10-02 16:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392545933 https://padlet.com/gamclaughlin/wxvmy4n5nynz/wish/392800086 America is extremely politicly divided so much so that two groups on each far end of political spectrum do mass riots against each other and if the government were to heavily anger one of these groups revolution would not be out of the question in fact recently a far left group by the name of antifa launched an attack on an ice facility and that is definitely a form of revolution and if that sparks a big enough fire a revolution. I personally think its not to far fetched to think a revolution may come in the future
