Civics is the study of what it means to be a U.S. citizen. As a United States citizen, I am privileged because I have more freedom than citizens of other countries have. I think the freedom to raise a family is the most important freedom because every one should have the right to get married, settle down, and have kids and raise them.
However, in some other countries this freedom does not exist. In China, you can only have one child. If you have a second child, these are some of the consequences that could happen: fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization. I wonder what would happen if we had this law in the United States? Would having this law help decrease poverty?
