Why is America Different?

            Why is America different than any other country in the world?

             America is different because our government is controlled by the people (or it should be). Our founding fathers set up this country so that the people get the power. This is good because, instead of a king or Congress controlling everyone, the people can choose their leaders and throw bad leaders out of office. Even if they can’t do it fast enough, elections come around every four years and the president only has the power to serve 2 terms (eight years).

              America is also different because it is the land of opportunity. Here in America, people can fulfill their hopes and dreams. You can be and do whatever you want. That is why so many people have accomplished so many things in America. There are a lot of freedoms here, and that is why this is such a great country.

            I know that America is the greatest country in the world because we have so much freedom and we can be whatever we want. I am so thankful to be born into this country and to be a citizen of the United States of America.
