Some substances you feel invincible on, people believe that they can do anything; things that they could not do when they were sober.…

It also causes people to live painful, unhealthy lives or just simply pass away. This is why drug abuse should be stopped and people should always be warned and aware of the consequences.

Therefore, I believe that when one is not under the influence of drugs one can be successful in life and pass most obstacles they come across, whereas when under influence of drugs it can only lead to their…

The role of state government in the United States political system has been dynamic, complex, and hotly debated since the former British colony declared independence in 1776. Founded and developed as individual colonies, the states entered a loose union under the Articles of Confederation during the War of Independence and remained nearly autonomous until the United States Constitution was ratified in 1789. The Constitution sought to form a “more perfect union” by establishing a federal government which could “provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare” of its citizens much better than each state could on its own…
