Answer and Explanation:
1. How do we view our founding fathers that is vastly inaccurate or over exaggerated? We see them as incorruptible men endowed with immense and unreachable wisdom, totally committed against any kind of injustice and totally correct. This is inaccurate and exaggerated because no human being can achieve this standard of perfection. Furthermore, we know that the founding fathers stopped supporting very important causes, which shows us that they were not as vigilant as we think. For example, they did not fight for the cause of natives, blacks and women.
2. How did the founding fathers view themselves? They saw themselves as intellectuals, as honorable men and with an intellect sufficiently trained to the point of being able to organize and manage the construction of a nation.
3. Name three reasons for George Washington's immense popularity: He was a very rational and peaceful person, he was very responsible with the political causes he supported, and he was extremely intelligent and well educated. These characteristics made people see him as a great leader and a person capable of governing the country with honesty, responsibility and without abusing or being contrasted by power.
4. How was creating a new constitution an illegal act? The articles of the confederation were established as a legal document and specified that nothing in them could be changed unless all representatives of all states agreed to the change. The new constitution was not supported by all states, but it was nevertheless ratified, providing changes to the articles of the confederation, that is, the constitution was ratified illegally.
