Read the following passage:
"Shun and stifle all these, willfully sacrifice Conscience, and the character of integrity to that golden Idol."
In a 2016 piece about John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams (the only two of the first twelve Presidents of the United States who did not own slaves), journalist Louisa Thomas wrote, "There was then, as there is now, an idealized vision of a grand new experiment in freedom. But, in their lives, there were messy, sometimes intolerable contradictions. The past is like the present, in one important way: it isn't always what we want it to be."
Reflect on the texts and the details that you read about the lives of some of the Founders. What observations do you make about their choices? How do you think free or enslaved African Americans may have felt as their humanity was debated?
Write three to five sentences summarizing your response to the question, "What conclusions can you draw about the men who wrote the Constitution?"

A syncline is a geological fold that forms when the Earth's crust bends downward due to tectonic forces, creating a trough-like structure. It is characterized by having the youngest rock layers at the center and older layers on the outside. Synclines are important for geological studies and can also be associated with natural resource deposits.
