Reply to comment by rlnrlnrln in ELI5 why does the USA land of the free have so many restrictive "indecency" laws governing the human body compared to most other countries? by Ambitious_Power_1764
Was it though? Only white men, owning land and not being Catholic, Jew or Quaker could vote in the 18th century. Not so very different from voting rights in the UK https://anglotopia.net/british-history/the-history-of-voting-rights-in-the-united-kingdom/

Reply to eli5: Who does the US owe almost 32 trillion dollars of debt too? If it’s the most powerful nation in the world, can’t it just get rid of it? by brybry0812
About your last question, people look at the risk, when lending someone money. If you always pay your debts, you can get away with paying less interest. In the last 10 years there have even been countries that had a negative interest rate. If you decide to stop paying interest or stop paying your debt altogether, others will try and get that money back and will never really trust you again. So financing in the future will become very difficult
