Guidelines for Essay: Samuel Adams and The Founding Brothers

General Instructions:

Write an essay in which you demonstrate both thoroughness and depth of understanding of two problems:

1. Consider the major ideas about government and public life that Sam Adams gained from his (A) Puritan heritage and then from his experiences during the revolutionary period; (B) the major causes of the American Revolution; (C) the "Spirit of 76" or the Whig principles; (D) the republican ideology stated in the Declaration of Independence; (E) the changes in the organization of government from the Articles of Confederation to the U.S. Constitution; (F) and the politics of the 1790's. Then use this information to explain the "contradiction" or "argument" Joseph J. Ellis asserts is "built into the fabric of our national identity." Cite an example of this argument in our present politics.


2. Consider Ellis's assertion that the revolutionary leaders were "the greatest generation of political talent in American history." Explain whether you believe Ellis is justified in making this claim and then argue who of these leaders (choose one or two leaders)- Sam Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, or George Washington - (1) possessed the greatest talent and (2) who made the greatest contribution to the founding of the United States.
