Both frontrunners fought for a united nation where the honest foundations of law relied on ensuring civil liberties and where the individuals granted such rights defended the rights of those around them at all costs.

Tom and Gatsby are both dishonest and deeply flawed men who commit consistent shows of indiscretions. For example, Tom condemns Daisy’s affair, but does not have the decency to be discreet about his own.
