The presence of north-to-south flowing rivers in the US affected its development by creating a economic bond between the North and the South, which some believe stemmed the onset of the Civil War until the creation of the railroad. Take Chicago, for example. Chicago existed as an agricultural hub where farm goods from the Midwest would go before making their way to larger markets. Before the Civil War, those goods traveled South down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and then were sold at New Orleans. This led the Western half of the US to look warily at Civil War because it would directly impact their ability to conduct trade. However, in the 1850s and 60s, Northern manufacturers began building railroads from Northern cities to Chicago, which artificially redirected the flow of farm goods to the East. Now, free from fearing an end of trade, Western politicians were more likely to approve of the Civil War.

This is how I would go: (I'm just glossing over it, sorry if you think it lacks detail. :L)
1. California does not deserve a seat in the United Nations. 
2. The UN is only for nations; people in California are US citizens; they do not have a culture nor a culture that is exclusive to the rest of the US. In this sense, California is not a nation. (this is the definition of a nation bit.) 
3. Federalism, the system where states and national governments share power. California (states in general) does not have the power to enter into treaties with foreign countries, nor regulate commerce with foreign countries. These powers are exclusive to the national government. This would mean that it cannot be given a seat, where these powers would be put into California's hands. I guess states governments would also fit into here somewhere.

"My right to free speech means you can't stop me from saying anything I want to." Evaluate the validity of this statement.

Bingel [31]

That’s true but remember that certain things are better to keep to yourself and some things you say can impact you, people around you, or you and people around you negatively but it can also impact them positively. Therefore think before you speak but the overall statements true
