Events in American History

1. Do you think the colonies had good reason to declare Independence? Why?
Yes I think the colonies had good reason to declare Independence because the ccolonies had left England because they were not accepted there, but when they came to America, they still had to pay traxes and respond to British government. So I think that in order to become a better nation, and have a better life, they had to become entirely free from England by craving Independence.

2. Should one country be able to colonize another? Perhaps, if it makes the country it colonize better, but not if they suppress the natives and take their Resources, generally makes the natives life worse.
When should a colony be granted Independence?

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 everyone should have the right to bear arms to a certain extent. I think there schould be some weaponlaws as it is in Norway, like the weapons have to be locked inside a safe, and you have to have documentation on all of your weapons. I think it`s okay to bear guns, shotguns and rifle, but I don`t think the average american needs a bomb of any kind or a handgranate.

4.  If you were to present your nation's history in the same way as above, which events would you choose? Why?
I would choose:
- The Vikings, because they brought traditions to and from Norway to and from Places they visited and robbed
- Norway under Danish and Swedish rule, because it is such a big and important part of Norwegian history
- Norway`s constitution day, because it is important from our history were we were under Danish and Swedish rule and because it was important for our national feeling.
- The heavy water action in Rjukan, because it was an important sabotage event under world war two.
