Read the information in the "Summary of Home Rule". Discuss what are the advantages and disadvantages of a city (in this example--a county--) assuming the responsibilities of governing its residents under the "Home Rule" ordinances. You do not have to read the charter itself, nor the "Second Class County Charter Laws." However, many advantages will be found in the reading while few disadvantages are disclosed. Those you'll have to think about, and decide upon the disadvantages for yourself (hint: think of everything that a city must do in order to become chartered with "Home Rule").
