George Washington wrote his "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior" when he was a teenager as an assignment in school, probably to practice his handwriting. Although he didn't invent these rules, respect and proper behavior were important to him, and he tried to live by these rules throughout his life and career as a general of the army and President of the United States.
Your assignment is to put 3 of the rules into your own words, and explain why following them might have helped Washington as a military and political leader. Be sure to "copy-paste" the text of the rule to your response.

Rules of civility...
The 50th rule of civility could have helped George Washington become the great general he was by not trusting all of what he heard. If a British spy told George Washington that the British were comming through the north when they are actually coming from the south could have been a mistake unchangeable. But by not trusting all of what you here, George Washington coud have been very precautious.
The 51rst rule of civility means to wear clean and tidy clothes. Not be close to anything that can dirty your clothes so you can have a good impression on people on how you are and act with others.

I think that it's amazing to have a primary source like the "Rules of Civility" -- George Washington spent his entire life trying to do the right thing, and even though he was only copying something for a school assignment, I can picture a young George Washington writing and thinking about how important respect and responsibility were.
My favorite is #13, which basically says that if you notice something wrong about someone (like he or she has a stain on his/her shirt), tell that person privately so it's not embarrassing. But if someone loudly tells you about a stain on your shirt, thank anyway, since he/she was just trying to help.
By the way, for those of you that were stumped by #55, I was too, and I emailed the experts at Mount Vernon back in 2007. They didn't know either.
