explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”

according to howard zinn, the history presents the encounter between columbus and the arawaks as a heroic adventure of descovery but leaves in the shades the cruel slavery and bloodshed columbus led in order to pay back to his investors. he sent the indians back to his nation as a payment, slaved them to find gold in the land and punished them when they didn't find any. history presents columbus as a heroe and even celebrates his day, when in reality he led a genocide. zinn describes the story of the colonization from the arawaks point of view.
