The corporal was standing by just watching as the men struggled.

The rider couldn’t believe it. He finally asked the corporal why he wasn’t helping.

The corporal replied: “I am the corporal. I give orders.“

The rider said nothing in response. Instead he dismounted his horse. He went up and stood by the soldiers and as they tried to lift the wood and he helped them.

With his help, the task was finally able to be carried out.

Who was this kind rider?

The rider was George Washington, the Commander-in-chief.

He quietly mounted his horse and went to the corporal and said, “The next time your men need help, send for the commander-in-chief.”

They’ve been dealing the same old cards
Against our freedom without a word
It has been like this for so long, for so long, for too long
’Been having these illusions of war
As my trust has fell apart
I can only get so far 
With no one at my side

And they say it's a battle that can't be won
We need our nation, we need our guns

Should we be deceived and give in,
Or should we stay and fight
Through the revolution
And never give in?
We’ll never give in 


We've come too far to go back now
To turn into slaves of the crown
Held subject to war for so long, for so long, for too long
Convinced there is no way out
Give me liberty or give me death
My sense of obedience’s been gone, for so long, for too long

And they say it's a war that can't be won
We need our weapons, we need our god

Should we remain silent and do nothing
Or should we stay and fight
Through the night 
And never give in?
We’ll never give in 

Stay strong, keep moving, can't let them enslave us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that find liberty for us
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the monarchy bind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that break the chains for us 

Should we be deceived and give in,
Or should we stay and fight
Through the revolution
Shall we fight?
Because the war has actually begun

(...actually begun…)

This is a practice that we don't see today, since now our government is divided between republicans, democrats, and third-parties.

Washington really trusted Hamilton in political and personal affairs. He acted as a father figure to Hamilton, and refrained from showing bias when decisions were to be made. Hamilton was a strong Federalist, and Washington, though he claimed to adhere to no political party, he had support of more Federalist ideals. So, for the most part, Hamilton and Washington were largely on the same page.

He never really joined the Federalist Party although he did support some of their ideas. In Hamilton, one of the songs in which he took a main role, he spoke of how if the people began to split into parties, there would begin to be issues in the government since people tend to disagree (in a disrespectful way) with other ideas because people are stubborn and refuse to accept that they may be wrong. As for his opinion on neutrality, he thought that it was necessary since they were just fresh out of war and didn't need to be involved in any affairs with other countries.
In the song "One Last Time," he said "I wanna talk about neutrality" and "I want to warn against partisan fighting"

It was significant for establishing civilian authority over the military--a fundamental principle of American democracy.
In the painting, Washington is illuminated by the light falling in the room and stands in uniform before the president of the Continental Congress, Thomas Mifflin, and delegates, including Thomas Jefferson. The empty chair draped in a cloak, suggestive of a throne  of a king, signifies his retirement of the position.

He was also greatly looked up to (seen in Burr's line "The moment you've been waiting for!" as Washington appears on stage). However, as outstanding as he was, he needed someone else to help in commanding what to do. Enter Hamilton, who becomes his right-hand man and helps him in winning the war.

This can be seen in Hamilton, when Charles Lee is left behind during battle. Lee begins to go off about how terrible Washington is, however he ignores these remarks because he knows being the bigger person will leave behind a better legacy for him than Charles Lee. Even though his name has been put through some terrible things, it's powerful enough to not be taken down by silly remarks, and he knows this.

#1: When reading through the issue at hand, I noticed how Jay mentions its people a lot; he kept on talking about what the people's opinions were and what they thought about a strong federal government and a government within the states. It can be assumed that he did it in means of having people trust in what they decided concerning the issue. It also could have been to show that this government will actually listen to its people, unlike the monarchy to which they gained independence from.  He mentions how considerations "induced the people to rely greatly on the judgement and integrity of the Congress; and they took their advice" .

Mode:
Hamilton presents in argument to the duration of the presidential term. He gives multiple perspectives on their side on the coin. His opinion of that the president can't get too much done, or influence politics with the terms he's presented, its very clear he feels this way throughout the work, but he gives the opposing viewpoint as well.
Connection to today:
Many people today would agree to the sentiments expressed in this work. Many people believe that if a president is widely seen as good and he can't be reelected anymore, and the present election holds no leader that could do what he does, then he should be reelected. Many people also think that 4 years is not enough for presidents to fulfill their plan.

Rhetoric:
"To what purpose separate the executive or the judiciary from the legislative, if both the executive and the judiciary are so constituted as to be at the absolute devotion of the legislative?" Hamilton asks this rhetorical question to show the absurdity in the reliance the president has to have on the legislature.
Hamilton alludes to the British House of Commons to alleviate to thought of the sacrifice of public  freedom. He then uses a couple more rhetorical questions, "if they have been able, on a recent occasion, to make the monarch tremble at the prospect of an innovation[1] attempted by them, what would be to be feared from an elective magistrate of four years' duration, with the confined authorities of a President of the United States? What, but that he might be unequal to the task which the Constitution assigns him?" To show the absurdity in the thinking that an increase in presidential term duration would sacrifice in public liberty when the president even able to work to the extent permitted by the Constitution itself. 

What I find interesting:
I didn't know that the president wasn't working to extent he should've back then. An increase in duration of presidential term might be good. But, would it be good in present times? Probably with Obama. kn]]> 2017-12-11 15:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/02jesrob13752/k9efnxsxs13c/wish/215046729 No. 29 03natgua18785 https://padlet.com/02jesrob13752/k9efnxsxs13c/wish/215050817 This relates to a very important and influential belief of 18th century Americans: militiamen are more trustworthy than active-duty soldiers. ]]> 2017-12-11 15:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/02jesrob13752/k9efnxsxs13c/wish/215050817 || Federalist No. 2 || 02jesrob13752 https://padlet.com/02jesrob13752/k9efnxsxs13c/wish/215053301 #2: A motif that was constant throughout the piece was the idea of unity. It mentions how the prosperity of America depended on its union and in order for things to have a good flow to them, the country could not simply be divided at such an early age. He was basically trying to emphasize that idea, directing it to Congress people, giving the government a president to follow. 
But of course, it ended up happening [the degradation of unity] anyway, as is evident with the quarreling parties we have today.

This reminds me of how China is currently building small islands in the South China Sea, however it is causing tensions to rise between themselves and other countries. What is normally a neutral territory is now being used by China for travel and trade, and others aren't too happy about it.

He states: 
"With what propriety, therefore, or for what good purposes, are attempts at this particular period made by some men to depreciate the importance of the Union? Or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one?" 
As a federalist, he believes that the country should stay as one big super power instead of dividing it within smaller sections.

He also writes how they should be like Britain in the way that she is a "safe" country, having no need for a large army. Again, this is ironic to me considering that they just fought a war to declare independence from Britain, however they should look to them when it comes to being "safe". He contradicts himself, hating Britain but looking to them as an example of what the states should be like.

He's warning the states of what could potentially happen if they decide to go to war together, and it almost has sort of an "don't say I didn't warn you" feel to it. Reading this now, after having gone through the Civil War, it's almost a big "I told you so" to everyone.

He conveys that if the country was to be split into sovereignties, they would be viewed as unsocial, jealous, and alien. This kinda also goes along with the rhetorical questions. On the other hand, Jay points out what they have accomplished as a united country. 
I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors,...attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.
He unforgettably mentions the fact that united they have made peace and war, defeated enemies, formed alliances and made agreements with foreign states. This somewhat gives the piece an inspiring tone since he positively states so much, giving favor to the federalists.

Aside from just talking about how they must be united because of wars and such, he goes on talking about how the country is already united (a little bit stretched for the situation). He mentions how, geographically, the country is beautiful and united with rivers and streams and fields. He also argues religiously, saying that people that believe in god, the majority then, came form the same land, have many similarities to each other such as language spoken and customs, and, consequently, believe in the same principles of government.

I love the Washington stories; they never fail to make me smile. Great layout for your information--easy to read and find. Very nicely done.]]> 2017-12-18 15:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/02jesrob13752/k9efnxsxs13c/wish/216985565
