they all gathered together and had a fairly large conference. they discussed all that they do in their states and how it helped to make things better.

As the year came and gone, it was time for the next conference. States began to see similarities in their ways of governing so they all threw out an idea of having a government that was for the whole country. One member of every local government would represent each state. They gave ideas on what the government would do. Ideas included security, equality, and health care.
