United States should Remain a Federal Republic

create an argument explaining why the United States should remain a federal republic separating powers between the federal and state governments or why it should become a national democracy with a unitary government. Which system would better represent what Americans want, which would better protect the rights of individuals and minorities, and why?( My opinion is that it should remain a federal republic)  At least five scholarly or academically appropriate references are required to support arguments. As always, recent news reports are useful to illustrate points. Your research paper should be between 6-8 pages (cover page and bibliography excluded), Turabian/Chicago format. For this assignment, save your paper as a document and title it (Last Name First Initial RP) (Johnson T RP.docx) and attach. The title page and bibliography or reference pages do not count in the page total. The task is to research, create, and support a scholarly argument using facts and evidence. Personal opinions are unnecessary and should be left out of the arguments. State facts and back them with citations. Phrases like “I feel” or “in my opinion” should appear nowhere in the essay.
