In this essay I will be talking about Patrick Henry’s and Benjamin Franklin’s views about when to compromise and when to stand firm. Patrick Henry was more determined and brave, he stood firm and proud to what he believed in. He wanted the freedom of slavery, and he always wanted liberty. He wouldn’t give up and he put a lot of effort into his beliefs. “but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!’ Benjamin Franklin was more calm about his opinions. He didn’t approve of the constitution. He wanted to get his point across but he also wanted to compromise. “ but I meet with nobody but myself that is always in the right”. But he agreed to the constitution and all its faults. . He wanted there to be a government for the people.
