'''''3. The Constitutional Convention: describe the "what, when, where, and how" about it.'''''  

The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia and took place in the summer of 1787 (May through September). Its original goal was to "fix" the Articles of Confederation. However, once at the convention, the Founding Fathers decided to replace the Articles of Confederation. The reason the Constitutional Convention took place was because the states recognized the weaknesses of the Articles and wanted to strengthen them.

However, once at the convention, the Founding Fathers decided to replace the Articles of Confederation. The reason the Constitutional Convention took place was because the states recognized the weaknesses of the Articles (as stated in question one) and wanted to strengthen the Articles by modifying them.

'''''4. Give an example of George Washington's leadership. Explain.'''''  

The best example of George Washington's leadership was when he gave up his position of power for the benefit of others-this marked him as a true leader. A leader has two important characteristics: first, he knows where he is going; second, he is able to persuade other people to go with him. James F. Clarke said, "The difference between a politician and a statesman is: A politician thinks of the next election, and a statesman thinks of the next generation." George Washington was a statesman. He cared more for the growth of America than he did about himself. A true leader is more concerned about the affairs of those he is leading than he is about his own personal gain or rewards.

'''''5. "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?'''''  

'''''5. "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?'''''  

The quote is taken from Washington's Farewell Address. Basically, Washington was saying that in order to experience political prosperity, America needed to be rooted in morality. True morality can only come from a person who is grounded in their faith. This quote means the world to me because it shows that the Founding Fathers intended for this country to be rooted in faith and based on Christian principles. God was in the center of their politics and George Washington knew that America had only come this far because of His guidance and their faithfulness to upholding godly standards.

I find this quote very significant because it shows that the Founding Fathers intended for this country to be rooted in faith and based on Christian principles. God was in the center of their politics and George Washington knew that America had only come this far because of His guidance and their faithfulness to upholding godly standards.
