I agree Tara, it seems that Dr. Franklin's words of warning strike very closely today. Too close!
With regards to the story, I love what you say about the value the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had in the presence of General George Washington. He was part of the glue that held them together. Much disparate needs and distrust threatened to keep them from success but Washington's leadership and presence had a great influence on their eventual achievement, our Constitution.
I believe that as God's presence continually blessed Our success in defeating the British, God was present at the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention.
Now, some 235 years later, we still, if barely, have a Republic. I pray that we will keep it.
Washington's strength was his silence. Still waters run deep and in his silence he must have been thinking deeply about the consequences of the decisions they would make at the Convention.
Three and three quarters months of debate created the document that made the United States of America the Greatest, most Prosperous and Generous nation the world had ever known!
Love, love, love, reading about how our Republic was founded - now we need to fight to keep it, in the voting booth of course! Thank you, Tara - as usual a great article. Love them all!
Benjamin Franklin spoke in earnest that the Convention had established a Republic in which the Citizens would Govern. He warned also that we might have to struggle to keep it ! Take that warning to heart when you Vote.
