Document Summary

How the revolution shaped the founders" priorities. ***the founders believed that the revolution was a crisis of representation - We are not able to make ourselves heard. Parliament is hurting us, and they will not listen to us when we say we are being hurt. #1 priority was representation - the founders thought that representation was very important since parliament didn"t respect or listen to the grievances of the colonies. Run for fun (often out of frustration) They are like the general public - they have collective political views, but form their beliefs from the news and their religion. Embrace high risk, high reward strategies (this never works) They don"t know what they"re doing, so they usually lose. Typically celebrities (astronauts, war heroes, entertainers, etc. ) They get things that professoions have from different sources (parties love this) They treat politics as a job (in most cases, it is their career) Willing to follow advice from their party and experts.
