'Take a poll of your classmates to find out what they trust about the federal government and what they mistrust about it. Compile the answers into a list. Then use the list to make a bar graph of the top five answers.'

Since I don't have classmates (-.-) I figured I'd ask you guys. Please help!

Thanks

I do not many senators and congressmen to work in the interests of people other than the businesses that support them.

I trust the Supreme Court to keep a balance in the Federal Govt.

To conduct a poll about trust and mistrust regarding the federal government, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a survey or questionnaire: Begin by drafting a list of questions about trust and mistrust in the federal government. Keep the questions open-ended to allow your classmates to provide detailed answers. Here are a few sample questions you can use:
- What aspects of the federal government do you trust the most?
- What aspects of the federal government do you mistrust the most?
- How confident are you in the federal government's ability to address societal issues?
- Do you believe the federal government is transparent in its decision-making process?

2. Share the survey with your classmates: Distribute the survey to your classmates, either in person or through an online platform. Provide clear instructions and a deadline for response to ensure you receive sufficient answers.

3. Collect and compile the responses: Once you have collected all the survey responses, compile all the answers into a list. Organize the responses by categorizing which answers reflect trust and which ones demonstrate mistrust.

4. Determine the top five answers: Review the compiled list and identify the most common or impactful responses. Choose the top five answers that cover a range of perspectives and ideas related to trust and mistrust in the federal government.

5. Create a bar graph: After selecting the top five answers, you can create a bar graph to visualize the data. Here's how to do it:
- On a sheet of graph paper or using software like Excel, create a vertical bar graph with a labeled x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical).
- Assign each of the top five answers to a bar on the y-axis, and label the bars accordingly.
- On the x-axis, mark the scale of frequency or percentage (e.g., 0-100 or 0-10) representing the number or percentage of classmates who expressed each answer.
- Use different colors or patterns to distinguish each bar on the graph.
- Finally, title the graph appropriately, such as "Top Five Trust and Mistrust Issues Regarding the Federal Government."

Remember, while this explanation provides a step-by-step guide, conducting a survey and creating a graph requires your active participation, as it cannot be done by an AI.
