The Founding Fathers: Truly Democratic in Thought A democratic reformer is defined as someone who creates change that pertains to autonomous ideologies. When this definition is applied to the creators of the Constitution, it is clear that the Founding Fathers were democratic. The document that they shaped was acceptable to the people, incorporated interests of the people, not just themselves, and exhibited the fact that they were democratic politicians. The Constitution was a set of compromises that would be advantageous to the common people and their rights by preventing the encroachment on these rights. It supported the needs of the nation, the need for a change from the Articles of Confederation, while also keeping in mind the importance of people’s liberties. Power was balanced in a way that corruption and encroachment on rights would be prevented. The majority of America benefited, instead of the minority, the well-to-do people. The Founding Fathers were democratic reformers in many ways, and were strongly seen as radical during their time. They agreed to create a strong central government that would be able to function well and unite the thirteen states. They were political geniuses that came up with a democratic system that would benefit the people and protect the people's rights and liberty. The Constitution would bring about several changes to the United States that still affects it today. Not long after the Articles of Confederation were written, it became clear that they gave too little power to the national government, and too much power to the states. In 1787, Daniel Shays led a minor rebellion that shocked the nation into realizing this. It would push all but one state, Rhode Island, to attend the Philadelphia Convention in order to create the change needed to provide a strong and effective government. Thomas Jefferson stated, “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of

    Were the founding fathers democratic reformers? In reference to John P. Roche’s “The Founding Fathers: A Reform Caucus in Action,” the founding fathers were nothing other than doing what was best for the people and the country. Thus, making them democratic reformers. On an apposing side, Howard Zinn’s written document “A People’s History of the United States,” proclaims that the founding fathers were rich slave owners who were in favor of protecting the property and rights of the rich by designing a strong central government to do so.…

    The United States Constitution, however, was signed by 38 of 41 delegates present at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. Shay 's Rebellion was a wake-up call to our forefathers as a call for a new all encompassing constitution and powerful government that included participation by all states while at the same time, limiting its powers through a system of checks and balances. Prior to the current Constitution, The United States was governed under the Articles of Confederacy. Unfortunately, this left the country with states acting almost…

    Both factions had good arguments, and both had solid historical reasons to support their views. An advocate of a strong, national government, such as James Madison, could point to the mob riots of economically distressed farmers and the frightening military uprising lead by Daniel Shay, known as Shay’s Rebellion. Shay and his militant sympathizers threatened the authority of State of Massachusetts, which could have led to civil chaos. This uprising underscored the need for a comprehensive, national constitution. Later, the French Revolution’s mobs that executed the king and queen further emphasized the dangers of popular uprisings and the need for a central government. A supporter of a weak central government in which power resides within the individual state, such as Thomas Jefferson, could point to the tyranny of King George, and Great Britain’s refusal to provide the colonies with representation. Both views had valid reasons for structuring a government to protect against men who become corrupted by power either as a despot or as a leader of factional interests.…

    Adjy agent number 37, Peter Brooks, stepped off the metal flooring of the built-for-sea hover craft and landed on firm earth. The ground shook a little as he made the short trip from the hover landing area to the small mouth of the cave. Small reptiles and insects scurried out of his way, except for a giant leopard moth which flew to his feet. He kicked it away, cursing, and held out his index finger for a scan. A bright green laser swept over him, the familiar beep that affirmed his entry and he was in. The stone hallway that led to the main building underground was long, the only light came from wooden torches aflame with artificial fire, no heat and double the light. He knew he was getting close to the main part of headquarters when he heard his footsteps change from patterned taps to loud clangs. The stone floor slowly transformed into metal and the yellow light turned blue. It now came from bulbs hidden in little gaps where the wall met the floor, not torches. He finally reached the bulk steel door and was asked for his index finger again, this was because the Adjy (the secret organisation he worked for) had implanted a small identity chip into it. He wouldn’t be able to get into headquarters without it. The first face he saw when he was allowed entrance into the building was that of the young novice, Jay Herd. The annoying, arrogant teenager whose father owned Adjy. A few months ago they had dumped him onto Agent Brooks as a way of ‘teaching him’ the family business. "Yo Brooksie." He greeted and slapped the agent's shoulder. The way Jay dressed and acted was enough to drive any adult insane. Agent Brooks still couldn't wrap his head around why Agent one, Mr Herd, had let his son dye his choppy hair a bright purple. Or why he'd let him get extreme piercings or horrifying tattoos. Sometimes it felt like going to the circus instead of work at a powerful organisation. "Herd." He nodded his head once and…

    I suddenly saw a perfect familiar face that my heart once knew. She's wearing jeans and a fitted white blouse which emphasize her perfect body. Her complexion is pale white and her hair slightly curls up to her neck. She looks better than the last time I saw her. When was the last time I saw her anyway? It was like 5 years ago. I hope she still knows me though I left her hanging in the middle 5 years ago. We shared something we thought would last forever. Obviously, it didn't last. I have a new girl now, new girl to share my stories with. I am going to propose to her next week. Yeah, I am happy with my new girl but she couldn't fulfill the part that my heart has been missing. After I broke up with this girl in white blouse, fate never brought my life to new extremes. I was thrashed and she moved on. Seeing her now makes me want to go back to the time when everything was okay. I better talk to her or at least greet her instead.…

    "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Isn't that easier said than done? We live in a world which relies on media in our daily lives, but we are also choosing to antagonize the media due to the strong effect it has on our society. The media isn't just something shown on t.v. It's everywhere, from the magazine we pick up when we are getting a haircut, to the radio station we turn on in the morning, it's as if our whole world has been consumed by different forms of media persuading us to act, think, and sometimes feel a certain way about ourselves. I have found myself a victim to the mind games the media puts us teenage girls through, since we are easily hypnotized by what being beautiful means. Growing up, day by day, I found myself hating who I am. Why aren't I like those girls on t.v? Why don't I look like that? Why don't I dress that way? Why don't I act like that? I found myself losing touch with who I am as an individual. There have been many significant moments in my life where I find myself trying to conform to societies, my friends, and my families ideal image of what a female is supposed to be, which unfortunately lead to the point where I went to horrific extents.…

    Etiquette is important because if people dont have proper etiquette then the disrescpect will hurt and it will lead to violence. The defintion of etiquette is the practices and forms prescribed by social convention or by authority. The history of etiquette started with the Maxims.The Maxims were conformist precepts extolling such civil virtues as truthfulness, self-control and kindness towards one's fellow beings. Learning by listening to everybody and knowing that human knowledge is never perfect are a leitmotif or theme associated throughout a music drama with a particular person, situation, or idea. Avoiding open conflict wherever possible should not be considered weakness. Justice should be pursued and in the end it will be a god's command that prevails. Some of the maxims refer to one's behaviour when in the presence of the great, how to choose the right master and how to serve him. Others teach the correct way to lead through openness and kindness.…
