The Founding Fathers of the Republic of the United States of
America
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page report discusses the “founding fathers” of
the United States of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The paper
is written under the understanding that the earliest leaders of
the country were bold enough to stand up for freedom and
independence. Such leaders saw that domination and taxation by
England was antithetical to their very existence and they took
action, revolutionary action, to change that situation and
determine their new nation’s own destiny. The group that has come
to be known collectively by the relatively generic title of “the
founding fathers” was actually a diverse group of men with varied
and equally intense interests, opinions, beliefs and prejudices.
Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Ideal of a Virtuous Republic
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses
about the commonly-shared value that the new America needed to
establish itself as a virtuous republic. Because virtue is a
subjective construct, the ways a “virtuous republic” was defined
caused both consensus and conflict. The developmental process
that the early colonists went through in their establishment of a
new way of thinking about government and personal rights is one
of the great stories of historical democracy. Bibliography lists
5 sources.
