An American Journal Article Review: “Deciphering Memory: John Adams and the Authorship of the Declaration of Independence” The article began with John Adams, who was portrayed as a man of principle and integrity, recalling a particular event where he appointed Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence and the latter who seemingly denied the whole incident ever happened. The dominant purpose of this article seems to be to convince the readers that science, specifically cognitive psychology, can explain why both parties gave conflicting memories of the event. Robert E McGlone claims that there are new advancements in psychology that can be used to further explore the nature of a memory. To begin with, McGlone contested Dumas Malone’s 1948 writings, which implied that “if Adams’s recall of detail was suspect, his memory of essentials is correct”. He reasoned that “commonsense resolution of the matter alone cannot resolve the issue”.

Antoninus Pius started ruling by associating with the government.When he ruled the empire was peaceful and prosperous, it was the most pleasing period in the history of the Roman Empire thats why he was known as the "The Excellent Emperor".

Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life. England's success at colonizing, what would become the United States, was due in large part to its use of charter companies. Charter companies were groups of stockholders, usually merchants and wealthy land owners, who sought personal economic gain. While the private sector financed the companies, the King provided each project with a charter conferring economic rights as well as political authority. The colonies generally did not show quick profits.
Forbidden City Connections * One of the main connections I have made in this book that popped in to my head was when I saw about the words Goddess of Democracy and the author describing what it was built for. The Goddess of Democracy was built by the students and citizens of China to try and promote a more democratic environment around the country, and trying to lessen communism. The Statue of Liberty reminds me of the history of it why it was built for. It is obvious that both of them are statues but the reason why it was built for is quite similar.

The Enlightenment period influenced the American Revolution by giving the colonists an opportunity to decide to break away from the British rule.
