- "Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow." - Elias Boudinot
Elias Boudinot should have a monument built in memorial to his accomplishments because he was an important person in politics at the time. He was a lawyer, a statesman, a delegate to the leader and deserves to Continental Congress, and served as president of the Continental Congress. He was a magnificent have something built in his memory so that citizens nowadays can remember his leadership while the Articles of Confederation were in effect.
Just because the Articles of Federation were a failure, it was still a very necessary part in founding our current constitution and government. By being a somewhat failure, it still showed us the weaknesses of our government and was successful in showing us how we could improve our constitution to make our nation more secure and just. Even events that weren't as successful as they could've been still deserve monuments to allow people to remember and respect the particular event, which in this case is the Articles of Confederation.
