3. Explain what you like most about George Washington.
:The appeal of power has been the downfall of mankind since the beginning of time. Eve ate the forbidden fruit upon hearing the promise that she would have the power to know good and evil. Throughout history countless potentially good rulers have fallen into the trappings of the appeal of power (for example, Saul of the Old Testament). Many kings have had masses of people put to death out of the fear of losing power (King Herod, for example, when he massacred the babies in Bethlehem). Yet George Washington conquered the evil that few have been able to resist; he turned down power for the sake of the greater good, forgoing kingship, a third term as president and the opportunity to take revenge (as in the case of “Citizen Gent”). Washington’s exceptional resistance of this common weakness played an essential part in making our nation exceptional. (Rachel N.)

:In his address, Washington stresses the importance of religion and morality- “Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?”, he warns America about permanent foreign alliances- “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”, and stresses stable public credit (something very relevant to today) “...cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible...avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt....it is essential that you...bear in mind, that towards the payments of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not...inconvenient and unpleasant..” (Danielle R.)

Unfortunately, recently this warning has not been followed and government has become more and more partisan which as resulted in government becoming less effective." (Kevin F.)

:The central problem with debtor’s prison is that it gives the creditor no second chance to pay back his obligation. He cannot, because he is not making any money at all. For example, if a workman with debts to pay is laid off, and he cannot find a job quickly enough, off he goes to debtor’s prison, where he makes no money at all. (Duncan B.)

:Question: Is homeschooling protected by the Bill of Rights? Should it be?
::It ... wouldn't be in the spirit of the Bill of Rights. When it was written the bill was only intended to limit federal power, not state and local government power. (Daniel N.)
::Obviously, it isn't explicitly protected, since it doesn't appear in the Bill of Rights by name. However, the First and possibly the Fifth Amendments grant freedom which could include homeschooling, and it is only logical that homeschooling would be constitutional, since public schools hardly existed in the time the Bill of Rights was ratified. ... (Addison D.M.)
:Issue: When those in the Constitutional Convention decided the Article of Confederation was faulty and that a new government needed to be formed, the public was not informed. Answer: In my humble opinion, this was a stroke of genius. No paparazzi putting their opinion in the headlines, no political peer pressure, only thos representing the people of the U.S.A. doing their best to run the government. ... Of course, the public and We the People would be informed of what the conclusion of said governmental powwow, to say whether or not it was agreeable. ... (Cole N.)
