In his many careers as a printer, moralist, essayist, civic leader, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, and philosopher, Benjamin Franklin Became both a spokesman and a model for the national character of later generations of Americans. After less than two years of formal schooling, Franklin was pressed into his father's trade. At the age of 16, Franklin wrote some pieces in a courant, "Silence Dogwood." Though penniless and unknown, Franklin soon found a job as a printer. After a year he went to England, where he became a master printer, sowed some wild oats, astonished Londoners with his swimming feats, and lived among the famous writers of London. In 17227, Franklin began his career as a civic leader by organizing a club of aspiring tradesmen called the Junto, which met each week for discussion and planning. Franklin began yet another career when in 1740 he invented the Pennsylvania fireplace, later called the Franklin stove, which soon heated buildings all over Europe and North America. He also read treaties on electricity and and began a series of experiments with his friends in Philadelphia. Experiments he proposed, first tried in France in 1752, showed that lightning was in fact a form of electricity. Later that year his famous kite experiment, in which he flew a kite with the wire attached to a key during a thunderstorm. His later achievements included formulating a theory of heat absorption, measuring Gulf Stream, designing ships, tracking storm paths, and inventing bifocal lenses. In 1751, Franklin was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly, causing the beginning of nearly 40 years as a puublic official. At home from 1762 to 1764, Franklin travelled throughout the colonies, reorganizing the American postal system. He also built aa new house on Market Street in Philadelphia, now reconstructed and open to visitors, and otherwise provided for his family. From April 1775 to October 1776, Franklin served on the Pennsylvania Committee of Safety and in the Continental Congress, submitted articles of confederation for the united colonies, proposed a new constitution for Pennsylvania, and helped draft the Declaration of Independence. After the loss at Yorktown, in! 1781,he finally persuaded British leaders that they could not win the war, Franklin made secret contact with peace negotiators sent from London. Franklin had many accomplishments in his life. Franklin's final public pronouncements urged ratification of the Constitution and approved the inauguration of the new federal government under his admired friend

Native American Contribution: Helped the patriots from Britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

African Americans: Indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to Americans. Africans coming to America because of slavery taught white Americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. It also built America's economic stability for a great period of time. 


Women: Make America what it is today. There are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the United States. Because women have rights here in the United States, other countries' citizens strive to come to America, especially women, since they have equal rights in the United States. This is important because America is seen and desired by many in the world. 

Children: Children are our future. We learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from America's history. We continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.

Virty [35]

Answer:

A.) to convince the officials to support the interests group positions on relevant laws

Explanation:

Lobbying is a common practice in some countries, such as the USA; and prohibited in others, such as Brazil. This is because lobbyism refers to a group of people who seek to interfere in the decisions of the political body of a region, by imposing the influence that this group has. This influence may be explicitly veiled, but it has the power to manipulate the national political body so that the interests of the group are served. In other words, we can state that the lobbyists' goal is to convince government officials to support interest group positions on relevant laws
