41. Bell Ringer! “ What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship. This is the source of our confidence -”.

81. The Articles of Confederation The Articles created a nation that was "a loose association of states." The state governments retained most of the power under the Articles, with little power given to the central (national) government. The central government received little respect and was not able to accomplish much because it had little authority over states or individuals in America.

82. The Articles of Confederation *Established the first form of national government *Major powers reside with individual states *Weak central government *Congress had no power no enforce laws *It was difficult to amend the Articles and to pass laws *Led to the writing of the Constitution

85. Let us not forget……

86. The writings of Mr. Ben Franklin… My prize question therefore should be, To discover some drug wholesome and not disagreeable, to be mixed with our common food, or sauces, that shall render the natural discharges, of wind from our bodies, not only inoffensive, but agreeable as Perfumes. That this is not a chimerical Project, and altogether impossible, may appear from these considerations. That we already have some knowledge of the means capable of varying that smell. He that dines on stale flesh, especially with much addition of onions, shall be able to afford a stink that no company can tolerate; while he that has lived for some time on vegetables only, shall have that breath so pure as to be insensible to the most delicate noses; and if he manage so as to avoid the report, he may any where give vent to his griefs unnoticed…. …It is universally well known, that in digesting our common food, there is created or produced in the bowels of human creatures, a great quantity of wind. That the permitting this Air to escape and mix with the atmosphere, is usually offensive to the Company, from the fetid smell that accompanies it. That all well-bred People therefore, to avoid giving such offence, forcibly restrain the efforts of nature to discharge that wind. That so retained contrary to Nature, it not only gives frequently great present pain, but occasions future diseases such as habitual cholics, ruptures, tympanies, &c., often destructive of the constitution and sometimes of life itself. Were it not for the odiously offensive smell accompanying such escapes, polite people would probably be under no more restraint in discharging such wind in company, than they are in spitting, or in blowing their noses.
