George Washington's Farewell Address contains his advice to the citizens of the newly independent United States when he retired in 1797. For each of the four quotes below, put each piece of advice in your own words, and explain whether you feel that the advice would still hold true for us in 2008, and explain why, or why not
2. "As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense."
3. "Let me now .... warn you .... against the baneful [troubling] effects of the spirit of party. This spirit, unfortunately, is truly our worst enemy. The domination of one faction [political party] over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, is frightful. It leads to .... the ruin of public liberty."
4. ".... religion and morality [good behavior] are essential ... morality [can not] be maintained without religion .... It is true that virtue [goodness] and morality are a necessary part of [good] government."

P.4 Nadia M.
1:
-To not establish friendship with people from other countries.
-I dont think that this advice still holds true for us in the U.S. because this might cause problems in the economy.
2:
-To save public credit.
-I think that this is good advise and it still holds true because when having public credit you need to pay for whatever you want plus interest.
3:
-NUMBER THREE DOESNT MAKE SENCE.
4:
-The religion and good behaivors are necessary for a good government.
-This still hold true because the government has to be neutal.
P.4 Lizbeth D. & Jazmine G.
1. To everybody in the world no matter where they come from become friends with them and start friendships with them.
2. Use your credit when you really need to, not just go around wasting it like nothing.
3. Beware of political parties because they are dangerous and it leads to many problems.
4. You need morality to have religion and you need religion to have virtue and you need virtue to have a good government.
P4. Crystal C. and Juan C.
1. That the new nation should have little connection as possible with the foreign nations. We think that it is good advice.
1. This is not good advise because this might cause problems in the economy.
2.To save public credit. We think that it is a good advice for us now.
2. This is good because u get to get free stuff and then u pay for it later.

3. This is good because everyone is equal.
4. That religion and good behaviors are neccessry for a good government.
4. This is good because people could learn good stuff and not be bad.
p4 Jeffrey M.
1. To be separated from the foreign countries. I think yes it would work in the U.S because if we are friends with foreign countries who are at war against each other they would be at war with you too.
2. To save public credit and use it when you need to . I think It would work in the U.S because if you don't save your credit you would be in debt and you should use it when you need it.
3. Don't get in trouble with the political party[Executive,Legislature, Judicial] because if you do they would ruin your public liberty. I think that is still be going on the U.S because if you mess with the political party they would try to ruin you.
p4 Leovardo G. & Christopher H.
1. They do want to have a permanent friendship.True because they don't want to have war in this country.
2. If you can't pay for the money now you can pay for it later.True because we have that right now at this time in this country.
3.
4. Everybody can believe in there own religion because the goverment cannot take that away from you.
Per.4 Adrian C and Maribel D
1. Not to have connection, goverment to govertment.
This is adivce we realy need to use becouse we souldn't be fighting with other government or don't get involve.
2. You may by the object you want but will have to pay for it after. This is good becouse if you don't pay it in that monent. Then the the person how's bying it will get mad.
3. Getting renenge in not wining will afect you. Yes becouse you need to now right from wrong. Do things that wont afect your personlity.
4. Get things that you will realy need. If you get things that you don't need that will ake you gredy.
P4 Adonis A. & Karina A.
Quote number 1 means that to have as little political[governmental] business connections to do foreing nations.It wouldnt help because if we are ever in trouble who are we going to get help from.
Quote number 2 means that save the credit you would be gaining more & more as time goes by.It would help because we are using it in stores and we can get stuff we cant get earlier and them pay it. And it gives you more chances to get other things.
Quote number 3 means that worried that political parties were always going to be fighting so he didn't want that to happen.it wouldnt help because that means that we would still be fighting right now & it would bring trouble to america.
Quote number 4 means that if you don't go to church you won't know right from wrong & to learn that got to church and believe in your religion.it does help us because we go to church to learn that somethings are bad & good & our religion would help in that too.
Cecilia A. && Antonio B.
period 4
1. Have as little [governmental] contact with other countries. Leave all other countries alone if they are fighting with each other. Be neutral.
It does relate to tady. Because we are in such an economical crisis, we can't really afford to partcipate in another war.
2. Take care of your credit [if you borrow money MAKE SURE you give it back]. Suggested that you don't borrow alot so that you are able to pay it back easily.
Very good advice, so that we're not in debt.
3 .Don't seperate the country with the political parties.
Does not realate because we are seperated and that's just what were used to && it doesn't work that bad.

P,4 Jaime P Luis R
1. Washington suggested that America shouldn't have political connections He tried to stay away from other countries. I think that being isolated is a bad tip now because then we wouldn't get advice from other places.
2. Washington suggested that if you have good credit you will be able to borrow stuff. He does say that you shouldn't borrow everything. That's good advice because when you want to borrow something you will be able to.
3. Washington suggested that the USA shouldn't have political parties. That's a bad idea because people have to disagree sometimes.
4. Washington suggested when you go to church to learn good behavior. That's good advice so that the USA knows what's good and bad.

1: Don't have problems with the rest of the world or have everlasting friendships with anyone either.
*I would say it would be important to keep our allies close in case of war or financial help .
2: Use your credit as little as possible to avoid large amounts of debt
*If we kept spending and spending we wouldn't be able to pay off all of our debt.
3: There shall not be groups because then no one would be equal.
4: Without religion no one would have good behavior, without good behavior we wouldn't have a good government.

3.All parties should be nice to each other because we are one nation and we will work together through the good and bad.
4.We are not areligius country but we should respect our peoples religion.
Here are the main ideas from Washington's Farewell Address. Many of you did a great job in putting them in your own words. Make sure that you have the four main ideas in your notes:
1. The US should not get involved in foreign alliances (friendships) because those alliances will lead to wars.
2. The US should only use credit when necessary.
3. Political parties are a bad idea because we should think of ourselves as Americans, not a member of a political party.
4. Citizens need to know the difference between right and wrong, and the best place to learn that difference is by going to church.
