History

In the Presidential Election of 1800, the two people who were in the lead were Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson. The votes were tied, but one man, who was supposed to vote, had not done it yet. That man was Alexander Hamilton. Because of his son's recent death, Alexander was too sad, his mind was in a completely different world. But everyone wanted to hear his voice and what he had to say. Hamilton thought that Burr had no real idea of what he wanted to do as president, while Thomas Jefferson, his enemy, had many beliefs about what he wanted to do. Aaron Burr was just popular. Even though Burr was his friend, Alex voted for Jefferson. Aaron Burr was okay with that, because there was a law at that time that said that whoever got second place in an election, would get to be vice president. Aaron Burr shrugged the loss off, and told Jefferson that he would be a good Vice President for the country. Thomas Jefferson just laughed at him. He said that he is not ok with him being the vice president. Jefferson told him that he could change that law because he was the new president. That would not happen today. Burr was Angry at Alexander. He demanded an apology from him, but Hamilton stood by his words. The two decided to have a duel, because that was how you would solve problems back in that time. They went to a dueling ground that was in same place that his son had died before him.  During the duel, Hamilton did the same thing that he told his son to do when he was in a duel. The very same thing that got his son killed. Alex did not want the blood on his hands, so instead of shooting Burr,  he shot at the sky. Burr, full of anger, shot Alexander between the ribs.

Answer:

There are several reasons why we might oppose to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States government. Some of this could be:

The fact that all people and nations have the right to govern themselves. Hawaiians deserve to make their own decisions.

The deposition of Queen Liliuokalani was forceful, and did not follow democratic or legal procedures.

A treaty of friendship, as existed originally, already gives the United States many privileges in terms of trade.

The economy of Hawaii was already very integrated to that of the United States.

A new state in the country represents a significant expense for the federal government.

Is the war of the roses and the British civil war the same thing?​
damaskus [11]

Answer: The name "Wars of the Roses" refers to the heraldic badges associated with the two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet fighting for control of the English throne; the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. ... During Shakespeare's time, the conflict was simply referred to as the "civil wars".

Why does every government decision cost something?
BabaBlast [244]
Think about the idea here and you'll see how the idea of "cost" is inevitable in every decision.  (It's true not just of governments, but of our own decisions too -- but we'll focus on governments here.)

Let's say the government decides it wants all citizens to have access to health care.  Well, that's going to cost dollars to pay for that health care.  Where will those dollars come from?

Let's say the government decides, in response to school shootings or other acts of gun violence, to ban certain types of guns or ammunition.  That costs something to the gun dealers who were making money off those sales (and they'll object).  Or let's say the government decides to do further and deeper background checks on all gun buyers.  Well, that will cost something in terms of personnel and processes to accomplish all the background checks.  Or let's say the government decides to increase mental health screenings and treatment because persons with mental illness issues may become violent and dangerous to society.  That will cost much in order to organize and carry out better mental health intervention across the country.

I focused on just a couple issues there (health care, gun control).  But the same principle holds on anything government does.  You can think about your own examples that you'd want to use.  Anything the government decides to do comes with some sort of costs attached.  That doesn't mean it's bad to make such decisions -- it just means we need to count the cost and invest our efforts where they will have the best benefit.
