The united states is a nation -state. how would you respond to this comment? one response should provide evidence to support the comment and the other response should provide evidence to refute the comment.

Support:

I agree with this comment. The United States is a nation, whether people like it or not. We have to work together against other nations in order to survive. The state that is saying this comment also agrees with it since it knows it has other states it has to work with. We can achieve goals easier and faster if we all communicate together as a nation.

Refute:

The United States is not a nation. We have wars and fight with each other. We are enemies and we must work alone as states. We must prepare for fight with other states in this country and we must prepare to win. If we work together as a nation, we could all win and that would not be the goal. We want to be the top and not let others rise with us.

Hope this helps! I wrote this on my own, so it is based on my opinion. It still answers the question though! Thanks for posting! :)
