Discussion Response: Founding fathers
The United States’ ‘founders,’ at some point in their lives, were British subjects, which includes the first four presidents. They raised and united against ‘King George III,’ stating their injustices in the ‘Declaration of Independence,’ a strong call for independence, and won a remarkable military victory against the then world’s leading superpower. They later showed that all of them were skillful during peacetime. When the federal government staggered under the ‘Articles of Confederation,’ famous Americans met again to draft the ‘United States Constitution,’ conquering main issues of disagreement between Southern and Northern and small and large states to form a sound political system. Showing forethought, they added a ‘Bill of Rights,’ which changed many civilian rights into law and offered a plan for other developing democracies. These great people of the revolutionary class were extra ordinally in rebating America; hence there is no official format on who qualifies as a ‘Founding Father.’ Some writers term them all together and are usually referred commanders who started the ‘Revolutionary War’ and planed the Constitution. Their efforts and sacrifice should not go uncredited by ignoring others.
The emerging nation was lucky enough to have a group of talented thinkers, writers, and luminaries whose frank debates with one another helped aided in molding the new government. America was equally lucky in having the perfect men and women at trying moments. These rebels, military leaders, writers, politicians had broad and different statuses, personalities, and backgrounds; still, they all had a role in forming a new country and shaping out the design for the young democracy. Without them, there would have been no the country we all adore. The ‘Founding Fathers,’ a team of prominent wealthy businessmen and farmers, joined 13 disparate colonies, fought for freedom from Britain, and wrote a list of critical governing documents that drive America to this day.
