Answer:
For Presidents’ Day, we need to remember the strong leadership that George Washington gave our nation during the Revolutionary War and afterward, when he became our first president. His integrity and courage in times of crisis make him an exceptional role model for students today.
One neglected feather in Washington’s cap is his commitment to having the U. S. be a financially sound nation. He knew that no nation ever became strong–or remained strong–on borrowed money. Financial integrity and national power go hand in hand. Thus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food. Sometimes those IOUs are called “continental bonds.” We also owed about $11 million to the French for financial (and military) aid in overcoming the British.
Some American politicians wanted to renege on these debts, or only pay part of them off. But Washington and his Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton recognized that U. S. credit and international integrity could only be obtained by paying back our creditors all that we owed them. Thus, Washington supported a tariff–usually 5%–on all imports, and he supported a whiskey tax as well as the two methods of raising money to pay off our national debt. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to avoid “the accumulation of debt,” and asked them not to throw “upon posterity the [debt] burden, which we ourselves ought to bear.”
What was the result of Washington’s effort to set high fiscal standards for the U. S.? Americans followed his leadership and usually spent less federal money that was taken in by the tariff and the whiskey tax. In less than forty years after Washington’s presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.
Answer:
Because Iraqis believed that Shah's policies departed from the concepts advocated by Islam and was an attempt to move closer to Western concepts.
Explanation:
The last Shah of Iran developed revolutionary policies that deeply disintegrated Iranians and started a series of conflicts known as the "white revolution".
These policies included economic and social reforms, which according to the last Shah, would lead Iran to become a strong world power. These reforms included the adoption of various Western policies in all political, economic and social sectors in the country. Among the changes we can mention the adoption of western clothes by men, the abandonment of the use of the veil by women, the permission for men and women to be together in any situation, the release of elements of American culture such as films and music, among other factors .
The Iranian population concluded that these policies violated the main concepts defended by Islam, in addition to being an attempt to bring the country closer to Western libertinism. As a result, most of the population was unhappy with the policies established by the Shah.
