Do you think that your community should be soveriegn

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

I do not believe that my city should be sovereign. Sovereignty is the right to govern yourself in a completely independent way. Countries are usually considered to be completely sovereign. However, I believe it is not a good idea for a city to be completely sovereign, because this comes with many responsibilities in terms of political, social and economic commitments that a city would not be able to handle effectively.
