U.S. History

In spite of rising debt and worries about long term trends in affordability, new American houses and apartments are larger than they've ever been before. 

So long as he uses a "national security" ploy, a president can raise taxes without so much as a debate in Congress. 

Even if a section of the US were to today secede for some noble reason (i.e., not slavery), the outcome would still likely be invasion and war. 

Even without the Bill of Rights, the federal government has no legitimate authority to control what people read or what people own, including books and guns.
