Changing America

Author's Note: The founding fathers gave america the head start they needed to becoming a great country. Some decisions were better than others.

Several men stand around a table bearing a piece of parchment.  The room is filled with candle light. Thoughtful conversations sound throughout the room ,not an argument, but a heavy discussion. The men in the room speak firmly, honestly speaking about what is wrong with the world. These are the discussions that changed the world, that changed time, that changed the course of destiny. These are our founding fathers. They formed the foundations of America in their visions, however some of their decisions may not have been the best.

One thing that the founding fathers didn’t make perfect was the government. Look at it today, no one can agree on anything and the economy is falling apart. Nothing changes to stop this either. The same media, the same arguments, the same politicians. Since nothing changes there is always a bunch of kindergarten drama. The presidential elections don’t help either. If the president is running for another term the whole last year of his current term is wasted on making campaign ads and speeches. The founding fathers could have set the government to have so much power or maybe make elections not last as long. Problems with the government are not the only things the founding fathers made “mistakes” with.

Something that they should have definitely  thought about was racial profiling. Back then it was bad because there were slaves. Our country had a war with each other over it. Even though that is over today there are still many people who think badly of another skin color. Without that our country could achieve so much. I’m not saying they should have come out yelling treat everyone equal it’s now the law but if they could have stressed something like that a little better I think that would not be as big of a problem today.

The founding fathers gave America the boost and head start it needed to becoming a great country. Almost everything about would lead to great things later in life. Though not all was as it could have been, they created an extraordinary work of art with the weapons of  determination, truth, and hard work.
