There were two questions on the essay that I found equally interesting. Question one on President Roosevelt's “New Deal.” As an economics student, the change in the economy following the Depression led by President Roosevelt's “New Deal” shaped the country's economic growth. The tenth question regarding President John F. Kennedy's “Camelot” was also fascinating. His inaugural speech is one of the most memorable: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” He was the youngest president elected to office at the age of 43. (Theodore Roosevelt was 42 years old, who became president after the assassination of William McKinley) Kennedy was also the first Catholic to be elected president. I choose to write my essay on JFK's Camelot because of its many firsts. John F. Kennedy was the second son of Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Sr., an American businessman, investor, and ambassador to the United Kingdom. Joseph Kennedy Sr. aspired for his sons to enter politics. His first son Joe Jr. was killed in the army, John the second son became the focus of his father's political career. John Kennedy, also known as Jack, represented Massachusetts' 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat. He subsequently served in the United States Senate from 1953 to 1960. Kennedy defeated Vice President and Republican nominee Richard Nixon in 1960 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy) The Kennedy/Nixon debates prove to be crucial for JFK; it was a close election, and many said the debates may have helped the charismatic Kennedy win despite having to overcome public concern that he might be influenced by his Catholic Church and the Pope. He was t...... half of the paper......Kennedy a great president, they fail to notice some of the mistakes that took place during his administration. I'm sure if he had been given the opportunity to continue serving in the White House there would have been many more firsts and many indiscretions, along with some failures.
