  • Kennedy's Life, Leadership, and Legacy

    1668 Words  | 4 Pages

    Which American president deserves to be titled the best? This question cannot be answered simply, nor matter of factly, for every answer would be a varying opinion. However, a collective voice of patriots would agree that John Fitzgerald Kennedy would give all others a run for their money. He was viewed not only as an inspirational leader, but also as an honest, loving man who quickly morphed into the only ray of hope that Americans had seen in quite some time. People trusted him to rejuvenate the country in a peaceful and courageous way -- standing up to intimidators, restoring order in mass chaos, aiding the weak and feeble, and guiding the nation to a glorious time filled with prosperity and joy. Though. his role in leading the nation was ended before his goals could be obtained, John F. Kennedy was one of the most influential presidents in American history in multiple aspects of politics and society, including foreign relations, racial discrepancies, and uniting not only the nation, but the world, through peace.

    ...e changed things for the better, and was the most effective leader compared to Jackson. Jefferson opened free public schools for white men that would change their generation for the better, he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and passed a bill that separated religion from freedom, and he was even against slavery. All Jackson seemed to do was create chaos for everyone. Although Jackson did do some good, like create the Democratic Party which showed that people did have the ability to vote and their vote was taken seriously, he defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans, and he vetoed the Second Bank of the United States because he felt that it was favoring rich people over the common people. All in all, both men did some good things, both men did some bad. But both changed America and definitely left a mark on it, whether it was for the good or the bad.

  • Characteristics Of President Essay

    1545 Words  | 4 Pages

    Lincoln showed his public servant quality by, “letting random citizens come up and talk to him about why he makes the decisions he does, and he reassures that he has their best interest in mind.” Lincoln i believe was one of the best presidents that had the quality of being a public servant. Lincoln actually cared what his people had to say, what they thought about certain things, and how they were doing in their life. Imagine if lincoln didn’t take the opinions of people and just did everything on his own? he would not be known as one of the greatest presidents our country has ever known. He did things to get equal right for black and whites, which blacks at the time begged for. He sat outside and talked to hundreds and hundreds of people, when in reality he didn’t have too. Lincoln had a commitment to himself to serve the greater good of the people. With him focusing on this it revolutionized and forever changed a nation for the generations to follow. Bill Clinton is also an example of a president who had a public servant quality in him. He showed this by, “he was very serious about balancing the federal budget and reaching out to the business community, but at the same time not abandoning the needs of poor people.” In addition to President Clinton being one of the very serious presidents of our time. He wanted to get things done and was very firm in some of his beliefs.
