In the eighties, officials of the government of the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, organized an operation to sell arms to Iran to finance the "Nicaraguan Contra", the right-wing guerrilla group that opposed the Sandinista National Liberation Front. , the party in power.

The sale of arms, moreover, was aimed at persuading Iran to release American hostages kidnapped by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon.

The US Congress had prohibited government organizations from financing the activities of the Nicaraguan "contra". But officials of the Reagan administration, including Colonel North, appealed to the National Security Council (NSC), which was not explicitly mentioned in the law drafted by Congress, to raise funds for the guerrillas.

The members of the NSC also participated in the illegal shipment of arms to Iran. At that time there was a trade embargo imposed by the United States. The scandal was discovered in 1986 when Lebanese newspapers revealed the operation of arms sales.

An explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

A strong central government is a form of government that is able to force the states and municipalities to abide by the central government's laws that they set out.The United States, in comparison to other countries like France, does not have a very strong central government. The question that arises is: should the United States federal government be able to override state policies? There are many who feel that the Constitution should not entrust greater powers to Washington DC and less power to the states. Entrusting more power to Washington DC would create a tyranny over the country. There is generally speaking a good balance with the way the power is set up between the federal level and the state level. State and local governments are fundamentally equipped to handle the current public policy challenges of today due to having control over the areas that they represent.
