View on the Founding Fathers

Part 1:
The Founding Fathers were an important group of people that greatly helped the development of the United States of America. They helped lead the thirteen colonies in the American Revolution. They signed the Declaration of Independence. They took part in the Constitutional Convention. They helped draft the Constitution. They helped 58establish a new nation independent from the British. With such major contributions, the Founding Fathers have been considered very important to the United States. In the U.S. The Founding Fathers are taken very seriously. Some people may even seem to "worship" them. Some people may even say "the Founding Fathers would be  ashamed of you" if your political views do not match those of the Founding Fathers'. Many people have only heard about the Founding Fathers without even knowing who they really were or what they did. Most follow along with what others feel about the Founding Fathers. They do not truly know anything about them. Their ideas are based of the ideas of others. The Founding Fathers are slowly slipping away because fewer and fewer people are understanding their contribution to our society. Even without the knowledge of what the Founding Fathers did, people will still understand them as a symbol of our country. In our eyes today, they are heroes that worked hard for our country to become what it is now. The Founding Fathers will always be remembered for providing us with the wonderful country we have today. The Founding Fathers will always be apart of our history.

Part 2:
What would America be like without the influence of the Founding Fathers? Without the Founding Fathers, America would not be the same, in fact, there might not be an America at all. With the Founding Fathers consisting of philosophers, the American society was influenced to leave from the power of Britain. If the Founding Fathers had no influence, America would probably have never revolted against the British. There would've never been an American Revolution. The land we call America would be territory owned by The British. Say the colonies revolted, even without the influence of the Founding Fathers. America would still be completely different. The Founding Fathers were educated, smart-thinking people. The people of the colonies would think differently. Our Constitution would be different. What kind government would they have created? What types of laws would they have established? Would it have stayed strong or would it have failed? I think the influence of the Founding Fathers was necessary for our country to be successful. It was created by some of the best thinkers in the colonies. Others would not have been able to problem solve the way the Founding Fathers did. The Founding Fathers created America better than most others could. 203. While there may be some flaws here and there, I think America is a great country made by great people. If our country was not great, I do not think it would have lasted for so many years. A weak, unstable government would never last as long ours is today.
