One of the advantages was that the old mom & pop stores were no longer practical, because the corporations were more convenient. You didn't have to ride around to go to seven stores anymore, you would just go to the big-block store and get everything you needed there. Furthermore, corporations provided a large amount of unskilled jobs - previously, the largest part of the "American dream" was to go and start your own business, farm, etc., but now you could go get a job at a factory or supermarket, so the job market was diversified. Those are just two, but I'm sure you can think of more!
I do not think that my community should be sovereign. A sovereign state is represented by one centralized government. If every state was represented by one centralized government I believe it could cause chaos. The government could support states that they wanted to and ignore states that they thought less of. Every citizens needs couldn’t possibly be met because it is impossible for one president or one small group of people to govern millions. It would simply be overwhelming and chaotic, at least in my opinion.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
There is no question here. It is just a statement.
However, doing some research we can say that the proper question for this statement is the following: <em>"Is Mark's service in a jury a responsibility or an obligation?"</em>
If that is the case, then the correct answer is "an obligation."
According to the laws of the state, an individual who is summoned by the state to be part of a jury has the obligation to attend. If he or she does not attend, he should be fined according to the law. If the individual cannot attend, it has to be for a very important situation that has to be explained. Otherwise, the state will consider his +/her negativity to attend as a contempt of court.
