Words To Our Founding Fathers

Patriots Pen

What would I say to Americas founding fathers?  

The founding fathers were important because they signed the declaration of independence and wrote the United States Constitution.  Besides making us an independent nation, they created a standard for Americans to live by.  I think that it is amazing that the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence was written over 300 years ago and we are still using these rules.

I think that the phrase "all men are equal" is an important line because it helped abolish slavery and it is still used today.  If everyone is equal everyone will have the same opportunity for education, jobs, and health care.  Equality also eliminates segregation and discrimination. The other thing I like about the Declaration of Independence is that it was signed on the Fourth of July so that I get to see fireworks every year.  The Declaration of Independence gave us equality, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The United States Constitution defined these rights in more detail.  Womens suffrage was important because all people, men and women, are equal and deserved to have equal rights.  Women should have the same voting rights or all rights as men.  Another important section from the United States Constitution is freedom of religion.  Freedom of Religion is important because in certain areas you can be killed for your religion.  In the United States you can be any religion that you choose to be and no one can force you to be a religion that they want you to be.

If the founding fathers wouldn't have signed the Declaration of Independence, we wouldn't be able to do half of the things that we are able to do.  Also, since they wrote the United States Constitution they allowed more rules that let us have the world that we have today. So if I met Americas founding fathers I would tell them thank you.
