Module/Week 1 provided an overview of biblical principles related to
leadership, statesmanship, and government. In this module/week, you
evaluate the lives, actions and decisions of key leaders in the American
founding. In turn, this paper will require you to analyze those
founders in light of the biblical principles discussed in Module/Week 1.
It consists of 3 parts (below). These sections must be discussed in the
order presented above and with appropriate headings
• Part 1: A
summarization of biblical principles of government, leadership, and
statesmanship relevant to founding a nation (1–1.5 pages); • Part 2: An
application of those principles to the decisions and actions of George
Washington and Patrick Henry (1-1.5 pages) and • Part 3: Application of
the statesmanship principles discussed in parts 1 and 2 to one germane
issue in a contemporary context (1-2 pages). (The application is not a
full blown case study as you read in Newell. The application links the
principles and in Part 2 to a similar situation today.
In Part 2,
remember to provide specific evidence (i.e., actions taken and decisions
made) to explain how these leaders demonstrated the various attributes
and principles discussed in Part 1. In doing all of this, keep in mind
the following:
1) While statesmanship is certainly about personal
leadership skills, moral attributes, and vision, it must also include an
understanding of how government actually works and should be
structured. There are plenty of nice, honorable people who care for
others but who do not possess an understanding of the inter-workings of
government and the required structure needed for a government designed
to figh injustice, prevent exploitation, and limit tyranny, particularly
in founding a nation.2) Thus, your discussion must include a
conversation about the type of understanding needed by a statesman as it
relates to government structure. The class readings and in particular,
the class presentations for this week will be really helpful to that
end.3) Your discussion must also focus on those statesmanship principles
needed specifically for founding a nation. As you will notice from the
course, we discuss statesmanship in a variety of contexts. It could be
that different statesmanship principles are needed for these different
contexts. Therefore, make sure you are thinking specifically about the
challenges of creating a nation based upon justice and liberty for this
assignment.
