Sure! Here’s how the statements can be sorted into the two groups:
Supporters:
- If the states are really going to be united as one country they need to be connected to each other by roads.
- A national road system is important for national defense. If there is a war, soldiers will use the roads.
Opponents:
- The road system will not benefit all the states equally. Some other states will get unfair advantages and other states will be jealous.
- A national road system will be expensive and people in my state do not want to pay higher taxes.
