Source 9 was written by George Cavendish and gives a positive view of Wolsey's contribution to domestic policy. Wolsey was an active member in the Court of Chancery and the Court of Star Chamber. Wolsey presided over many cases in person, with the centre of his legal activities lying in the Star Chamber. Wolsey's success can be attributed to the fact that anyone was able to bring their case before him in the Star Chamber regardless of their wealth or social status. He genuinely wanted to see impartial justice delivered in his courts.
I chose this speech for its significance in history, as well as its influence on Nixon’s political standing at the time. He was a very powerful public speaker, as well as running mate and Vice President for Dwight Eisenhower. Nixon makes very powerful points though out his entire speech to show that he is in the right, and the charges against him and his party are being wrongfully made. Nixon’s greatest quality as a public speaker is his ability to sway the crowd with his charisma, and sincerity. His speech reached the people, and made them listen.
He believed that through using reason and being open to various viewpoints, citizens could arrive at proper laws and policies to ensure peace, prosperity, and happiness for the country (McNeilly, 168).” Washington was intelligent enough to know the importance of a strong leader in the early years of this new country. He was not discouraged by the years of adversity that were certain to follow, and accepted the role as the first President of the United Stated of America. He exercised his power masterfully by showing virtue and leading the new colonists with proper and just actions. He worked to establish a series of check and balances in the new American government where no one branch of government could become more powerful than another, equalizing the three branches through a series of veto powers and other “checks”. This method set an example to be followed by other organizations and departments.
Due to Henry being popular parliament were willing to help finance his invasion. He proved himself a worthy King from the very beginning by personally sening letters asking for help from religious communities and individuals asking for help with his plans. This shows from an early stage that Henry doesn't hold back. His organisation skills from the very early stages led him to being so successful in France as a whole as if he had just jumped straight in with trying to take over France at once, he wouldn't have stood a chance or gained credibility from his men and the French men. Gaining cedibility and respect was very important to Henry.

He did a very good job on his presidency and he had many important achievements. I would definitely have voted for Jefferson because he was brilliant and he understood the needs of the people. As mentioned above, he helped to write the Declaration of Independence and the constitutional law. Lastly, he argued fundamentally that a federal government that had too much authority over its people would ultimately undergo a revolution.

By the age of nine, his father sent him to attend a private school in Norfolk, Virginia, which was managed by an English clergyman and other wealthy Virginian scholars. This experience helped him build lifetime friendships, which supported him throughout his political career. During the six years at the institute he learned one of the most valuable traits that make up a notable and distinguish individual, character. Though the
His courage on the battlefield and in political office will forever stand the test of time. He believed in his country, and that everyone deserved to be free inside of it. Noted as being extremely convincing, Hamilton convinced congress to vote for Thomas Jefferson in the extremely controversial presidential election of 1800. This convincing nature would prove to be his downfall however, as the loser of the election; Aaron Burr killed Hamilton in a duel on July 12th1804, after years of being bitter enemies.

Faced with all this various obstacles, there’s no way the President will ever become too powerful and thus pose a threat to democracy. The Madisonian system (separation of powers and checks and balances) is strong enough to check and prevent such tendencies. In my perspective, the President isn’t ‘strong enough’ to stand up to the diverse interests in the United States and that’s because the Senate overpowers him.

It’s a miracle that Jackson even made it to his adulthood, let alone to lead a democratic movement to the top of American politics.

In the 18th century, the common man of America needed someone in politics who they could relate to.
