Answer:

Fireworks are explosions of numerous small pellets of black powder called stars. The main ingredient in fireworks is black powder, which explodes when ignited (lit on fire). In addition to black powder, firework stars contain different chemicals or metals to create certain colors.Around 200 BC, the Chinese unintentionally invented firecrackers by tossing bamboo into fire, but it took another thousand years before true fireworks came alive. As the story goes, around 800 AD, an alchemist mixed sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (a food preservative) hoping to find the secret to eternal life.

According to my perspective fireworks should be illegal as each year serious injuries and millions of dollars in property loss occur from wildfires sparked by fireworks.They're dangerous and can cause severe damage to living and Environmental things.Moreover,they cause pollution.

Hope it helps!

Fireworks are made by first making the stars by mixing black powder with the chemicals needed to make a specific color and shape. (Ex. Copper makes blue) The explosion is made thanks to gunpowder. Fireworks were created sometime in 600-900 AD and legend has it that the first gunpowder was made by a Chinese alchemist and was poured into bamboo. We don’t really know where fireworks came from though. And I think they should be legal just have more regulations and the laws be consistent in every place cause I know in the US my state there isn’t really much regulation. There were someone setting them off by an elementary school in a neighborhood, and many people get very injured from fireworks especially on Independence Day here in the US since they aren’t always sober when setting off fireworks. I hope this helps!
