Answer:

The Gadsden Purchase gave the United States land to build a railroad.

Explanation:

The United States was willing to pay more money for the Gadsden Purchase than for the Mexican Cession because this purchase allowed them to have more land in order to build the railroad. Moreover, it allowed the United States to continue its plans of conquering all of North America. The treaty was ratified on April 25, 1854, and it purchased 29,670 square miles of land, paying Mexico $10 million.

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.
