Jimmy Carter: The Worst President of American History
The president of the United States is responsible for many aspects when taking office. One component of presidency is being able to improve the nation from the previous term, regardless of how terribly it may have gone. Another major factor is the six components of the economy that must be addressed: taxes, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, debt, and the stock market. Additionally, the president needs to deal with other domestic and foreign policies that will create the legacy of this president. Unfortunately, not all presidents successfully meet all of the necessary means of being a president and eventually worsen the state of the country.

He had to deal with the mistrust of a nation and Congress which will make a term in office very difficult. His stubbornness and independence put him in a sticky position that made him unfit to be president. Not to mention, the way he dealt with economic and domestic decisions doing nothing but harm and further damage where our nation was at. Lastly, his foreign affairs―Iran Hostage Crisis, Panama Canal, stirring the pot with his allies, and Soviet tension―weren’t the wisest ways he could’ve handled the problem. Though he saved the energy crisis and the Camp David Accords, his mistakes and damage he has done made Jimmy Carter the worst president that America has seen.

Andrew Johnson finished out Araham Lincoln's term when he was assasinated. He was a very prejudice person who believed the United States was for white men and should only be governed by white men. Many people think he was the worst president the United States has ever had until Barack Obama come along.
Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. He had disenchantment with government and politics in his past. Not only was he in depth and acknowledged with the operation of politics, but was as well in depth with the intricacies of entertainment. His presidential election contained a transformation that was at the least of most American’s expectations, with his past of show business. His beginning to presidency was the point of a convergence, which that involved his acting career, and then becoming a dominant figure in politics, and in the nation.
his comments, Reagan says Carter has misrepresented the evidence because he has not provided context on government spending in California . Carter fails
Poverty; a word that is commonly used so often when it comes to individuals being a low classed, low income, American citizen who struggle to find success and an efficient job that pays well. In Barbara Ehrenreich’s article It Is Expensive to Be Poor, published in the online news article company The Atlantic, on January 13,2014, she argues that those who are struggling to support their own family or find an efficient well paying job are obtaining no support from the self-centered government. Ehrenreich also tries to inform the readers that those who are in poverty are treated unfairly and unjust. Through Ehrenreich’s argumentative article, she tries to persuade the readers through reasoning, credible personal background and history, as well as emotional appeals.
Carter laid out his plan for foreign policy in his Commencement Speech at Notre Dame. Carter’s goals were to focus on Human Rights. In Carter’s eyes he saw protecting human rights as a way to create peace and lessen cultural tension while pointing out American morals. Carter worked with the trilateral commission, whose goals were to adapt to the changing world. In other words do away with the old ways, for U.S. supremacy was over.

Both presidents will be compared to determine who brought the best for United States.
In the wake of the prevalence of industrialize among the United States, the former U.S president Jimmy Carter proposed that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is not supposed to be developed for industry in his foreword to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and land, A photographic Journey by Subhankar Banerjee. Jimmy Carter effectively builds his argument by logically utilizing pathos, logos, and ethos to plead with the audiences to take his side. Jimmy Carter employs pathos to appeal to the audience’s emotion for supporting his argument. In paragraph seven, Jimmy Carter takes a stand on the position of American citizens to consider the issue of industry developing, and he suggests that “instead of tearing open the heart of our greatest refuge, we should use our resource more wisely.” To offer a proposal, Jimmy Carter as a citizen
He will forever be recognized by many as one of the worst, if not the worst, presidents ever to serve this country. The second worst president was Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter did not show leadership and control when he needed it most. With hostage crisis in his presence, he attempted to negoti-ate with terrorists rather than showing force (as Reagan did with much success).
Jimmy Carter builds a compelling argument to persuade his audience that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be developed for industry. He has evidence to back up his argument. He uses reasoning to develop ideas and uses persuasive elements to get his point across. Jimmy uses facts or examples to support his claims.
As I reflect over the past presidents of the United States, I realize that there have been many triumphs, as well as many trials. These successes and failures have influenced the nation to be the way it is in the present time today. President Taft and President Wilson had many accomplishments and failures that I have recently learned about that caused me to reflect on the history of the United States presidents. Through their accomplishments, as well as failures, there is much to be learned and remembered.

When Carter became President the House and Senate had Democratic majorities, so many people thought it would be easy for Jimmy to get laws passed, but it was not that easy. Congress blocked Jimmy’s proposals for welfare reform and for a long-range energy program. Carter was not getting the changes made that he had told the people he would and this
In America we have had many presidents, they have done their job to get America this far. I would have to say that president Ronald Reagan would be my choice in who I think was the best President. I know I wasn 't alive when he was president but if I could I would like to live that time period. President Ronald Reagan was the 40th president. When president Reagan was elected on November 4, 1980 he was the oldest man ever elected at the age of 69.
