These seven men from the Founding Ear were America's first presidents. They established our republic on the foundation of the Constitution and its liberties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut who were they? Were they good or bad leaders? How did they become presidents? Did they follow the Constitution or abandon its principles?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir lives reflect the opportunities America offers. Farmers, attorneys, military veterans, and philosophers, they each rose to the highest ranks of political leadership. From very different backgrounds, all loved their nation. Each had shortcomings (some far more than others) as well as stellar shining moments. Some preserved our strong foundations and some abandoned core constitutional principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories of each of these presidents are fascinating, instructive, and compelling. And why not? After all, these are the men who built the republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: \u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e464 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Real Life Network","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54005224931638,"sku":"BKM246","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/5324\/5238\/files\/TheAmericanStory-2-Shopify.jpg?v=1778261086","url":"https:\/\/shop.reallifenetwork.com\/products\/the-american-story-building-the-republic","provider":"Real Life Network","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
