In today’s society it is rare to encounter one who is completely independent. People depend on human contact and the help of fellow civilians to supply for basic needs. I myself could not have made it on my own. I depend on my family to supply shelter, food, and basic life skills that have kept me alive. On the summit of Mt.

George Washington’s Presidency George Washington, as every American has known since around pre-school, was our nation’s first president. But what if we didn’t have a president? Maybe a king, or even a theocracy? Originally, George Washington thought that maybe a constitution may not work, and a ruling elite may even work better (William P. Kladky). The Constitutional Convention had many long and heated debates on how to best create their government to give equal power to all branches of the government, and a board of three was one of the contenders (William P.
