... were in a race for the gold as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne thought. Benjamin Franklin's ideas begged to differ. He felt as though the democratic community and growing the ideology of individual advancement (Individualism and/vs. Community, 1306) could coexist together. Franklin, having risen from poverty, felt that he wouldn't have been able to be a man of such distinction if it had not been for Government that encouraged the advancement of self.

... they got it. In 1811, when James Madison was president, he vetoed a bill passed by Congress incorporating a church organization. England was also an influence on how we handled the press, since we were trying to break away from them and be different and independent.
