But like you said, if we have a Senate, the bigger countries like Russia and China won't like it. So do you suggest that we have both a Senate and House?

Yes, but it would need to be slightly different, so it doesn't represent the US government too much.

In a one world government why would there still be a US?

I disagree with you because we should only have a world government in at time of crisis, or else big countries won't join. But if it is a time of crisis, more then likely, many nations will be more then willing to join because of the fact that their economy could be failing, or they need help to get more resources, etc.

Isn't that what I said earlier in the thread? Why would we need a world government, except in a time of WORLD crisis. It wouldn't make sense for people who don't want to be ruled by outsiders to have to join a world government when they don't need it. If terrorism becomes a world problem, a world government would be ideal. Also, if global warming gets way out of hand, a world government would be great, too. In the far future, if we ever go to other planets, a world government would work more than independent nations, so we don't have wars on who gets what territory on the moon.

A world government should be developed, no in a time of a world crisis, but now to prepare for a world crisis. The world government would remain idle until the majority of representatives vote that the world government should become active.

Why would counties want to join a world government? Even though it is a good idea to prepare for the future now, many countries might not think that they will ever need to join. How should we convince them to unite peacefully under one central government? Still, one old problem comes up, how should we ensure that there will be no conflicts inside countries or areas that we set up for power?

Countries would want to join a world government because it is something that they can fall back to. In a time of world crisis, they could vote to become active.

To ensure that there will be no conflicts, just have several places of voting. Kind of like the Olympics, which are held in different nations.

No I'm not talking about where the elected officials will vote, I said who. How should we pick the people who are going to choose what to do in that time of crisis?

The people who decide whether or not the world is in crisis would be decided within each country. They would be that countries representative(s) and would vote in the world senate.

But then we get back to the issue, how do we manage the people so that they don't go fighting for power?

It would be a MAJOR problem if a country or people felt that they are underrepresented and thought to use force to state themselves in the world. When you have a world government, it needs to be conflict free. After all, that is what it's for, right?

As we discussed before, a world senate would be ideal during crisis. Please note, however, big countries will not want to be part of the equal world government if they don't have to. If you wanted them 100%, then you would need a house of representatives as well.
