Authors Note: The prompt to this Patriots Pen Essay, is "What would you say to the Founding Fathers?". I decided to talk about what question I would ask them, and explain how much I would like to thank them for everything they've done.
The founding fathers, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson were major parts of our countries history. They were the ones who created the constitution and changed life as we know it. They wanted to form a country that was different than all the others. Without them, America wouldn’t be what it is today. Even though it’s been over 200 years, the Founding Fathers have inspired so many changes that have happened today.
The government that we have today was majorly affected by the Founding Fathers. The type of government that we have, laws, branches of government, and the way our country is run would all be different. If I had an opportunity to ask the Founding Fathers a question, I would ask them, “What made you do what you did?” The reasoning isn’t very important, but I think that many Americans would be wondering the same question. They were brave, by making a move to make things right in America. To make the people have a say in what we do and for everyone to be equal with one another. They took a stand for their country because they knew that something needed to be changed. They decided that the citizens of our country should be free, because people shouldn’t be forced to do something they don’t want to do. And I would want to thank them, for all of the risks they took for America, just to make things right. It is hard for me to imagine life if the Founding Fathers didn’t do what they did.
So many changes that have happened today, were inspired by the founding fathers over 200 years ago. The United States of America would be very different if they didn’t do what they did. The Founding Fathers were a part of forming America, and we owe them everything.
