One world government -- a good topic for history classes

Decade after decade, there has been a world of propaganda favoring one world government.

Perhaps you would like your students to have the other side of the argument. 

My basic suspicion for years is that if you gave the UN the power to run the world, then the people in charge of the UN would have all the power, and naturally all the psychopaths on the planet would try to figure out how to take control from those few people. In short, the worst people rise to the top because they are willing to do more evil things than the best people. 

Instead of centralizing power, we should be looking for ways to  give more power to more people. That's what a true liberal would want. And it's what a democrat with a small d wants.

So here is a short essay to draw your students into an interesting political discussion.

"One world government is a dangerous idea"
