"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,"-John F. Kennedy. The king of Great Britain was imposing taxes on us without our consent. He cut off all of our trades with the world, and he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. The question is if gaining our independence is a good idea or not? I believe we should allow him to cut all connections with us because that way we can enforce our own laws and grow as a fair country where everyone votes and are all equal. Gaining our independence will take time which we will make it without Britain.…

I was born in Hanover County, Virginia to two hardworking, tender parents on May 29, 1736. At the youthful age of eighteen, I wed my beloved Sarah Shelton (may she rest in peace) and began working as a planter like my father. After this failed attempt due to a catastrophic fire that consumed our home, I arduously worked as both a student and my own teacher to familiarize myself with the law . My endeavor as a lawyer proved to be prosperous, for I had made a renowned name for myself as an orator. On May 20, 1765 I succeeded in securing for myself a seat in the Virginia House of Burgesses . Time and time again, I found myself in generous opposition with Great Britain and her arbitrary acts of colonial exploitation. As prospects for war in hopes American independence became auspicious, I urged the public to support the American cause and the conviction for unrestricted liberty . The nation’s triumph against Great Britain proved that America is more than equipped to be a nation of prosperity AND democracy. This is a nation where we can choose to govern ourselves in rectitude and solidarity. This is a nation where a Virginian can live side by side with…

Let’s pause here for a moment and ponder over the fact that for once, a majority does not figure in the making of a sensibility, that is India. It is imminent that we then question what is national identity. Is it what we are, what we accept we are or the face we show the world? For the moment let us consider the utopian “what we are”. What binds us and makes us people of one nation despite myriad similarities and dissimilarities.…
As a member of the Second Continental Congress I see the other side of the King. He is not I tyrant and is just misunderstood. The king was only doing his duty by protecting his colonies from the French and Indians. For this we are forever in debt to the British rule. As William Pitt said “The war would be paid by the king.” The war cost much more than expected, therefore, he needs our assistance to pay for it. Parliament is just trying to help by passing acts. We should not at so quickly in breaking ties with our mother country. Our role as British colonist is to support Britain rather than to separate. We should obey the king’s decision because he is concerned with benefitting the interest of our people. So as a group we should not draw up a declaration of independence.…

My name is Indira Nehru Gandi and I was born on November 19, 1917 in Allahabad,India. I studied in Visva-Bharati University, Somerville College,and in the University of Oxford. I had a great passion for education because Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances. My father, Jawaharlal Nehru, led India's political struggle for independence from British rule, and became the first Prime Minister of the Union of India. I was very much inspired with what my father had become. And I eventually served as the third Prime Minister of India being the second female head of government in the modern world.People would say that I am like my father although I also believed that my father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not. In 1971, I intervened in the Pakistani Civil War in support of East Pakistan. My country emerged victorious in the resulting conflict to become the regional hegemon of South Asia. During the war, the U.S. had supported Pakistan, while India received help from the Soviet Union. Relations with the U.S. grew distant as I developed close ties with the Soviet Union after the war. The latter emerged to become India's largest trading partner and its biggest arms supplier. I also gave direction to India's economy to reach the declared objectives of democratic socialism and greater social justice for weaker sections. It was also under my leadership that the signing of Shimla Pact with Pakistani Premier Bhutto and the signing of Indo-Soviet Treaty of Peace, where Friendship and Cooperation took place. I have also nationalised banks, abolished privy purses of maharajas and conducted the first nuclear tests at Pokhran. I was satisfied with these achievements of mine because I have pushed myself towards the edge exerting great effort and I believed that Satisfaction lies in the…
