We Are the Guardians

To the People of the United States of America, As a nation we are divided. This division is not physical or geographical. Instead we are divided in the fundamentals that keep America strong. There is no respect for opinion, the government is incapable of making decisions together, and political parties make a clear divide between the people. While Alexander Hamilton used Federalist Paper 13 to open the eyes of the patriots to the problems with dividing the states into individual sovereignties, one being economic harm to America, it is important in our day to understand how the division of our country in regards to opinion, government, and politics has the same effect on our economy.                 Why is America united?
