4. "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." From where is that quote taken, and what does it mean to you? I would say it was from George Washington's farewell adress. I say this because George Washington's farewell adress taught us about how we can achieve prosperity, and George Washington's trust in God is not surprising because Washington was a religious man. It teaches us that if we have faith in God, like in the stories of the Old Testament, God will bring us great things.

5. President John Adams was only a one-term president. Why? John Adams was infamously bullhead and so as this may have been effective trying to inspire the American people to rebel, it did not increase his popularity as an American President. Also he had George Washingtons flawless legacy to follow, a legacy that is hard to be achieved by anyone.

6.Write about any issue related to this week's lecture. I chose the topic of whether we should have debtors prison, I obviously do not believe we should but I do believe people should be made to pay their debts. This disrespect for debts has carried up to the highest levels, signalled by our skyrocketing national debt.
