Freemasons were the members of the secret fraternal order of Free and Accepted Masons that is a worldwide secret society.

Many of the founding fathers were freemasons, like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock, John Marshall. So nine of the 56 men that signed the Declaration of Independence were Masons and 13 of the 39 that signed the US Constitution were also masons.

What does Socrates claim philosophers must do to help others gain wisdom?
Marina CMI [18]

As he has already stated, his role as a philosopher is to question people regarding their own supposed knowledge and to show them that their wisdom extends only as far as their acceptance of their ignorance. In this respect, he is helping people gain wisdom (his kind of wisdom, that is) and overcome ignorance.

French Alliance Why? Why so important?
uysha [10]

I'm assuming you mean the French alliance with the American colonists during the American War for Independence against the British.

The French alliance was hugely important for two reasons:

  • France provided significant military support, especially in leadership roles like that of General Lafayette, and in support provided by the French navy in battling British ships and transporting reinforcements for the American patriots.
  • France devoted enormous financial aid to the Americans. The cost to France for supporting America’s revolution added up to 1 billion livres  (about 4 billion in today’s dollars).  That financial boost was much needed by the revolutionaries in America.  [It did also have the side effect of putting the French government deeper in debt, which led to the French Revolution.]
