The signers could have easily been hunted down, tried for treason, and executed. They knew that what they were doing was bold, but they did not know that it would be shaping and changing America for years to come.

The right to elect government officials is one of the most fundamental rights an American Citizen is entitled to. It is also one of the most basic qualities of a democracy. Yet, few understand how our modern voting process works when it comes to electing our highest official. Thomas Jefferson once said, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never can be” (qtd. Ourrepubliconline). The Electoral College is an outdated system that no longer serves its original…

The chapters I believe are of most importance go over critical moments in history such as; the dinner when…
