I would nominate Benjamin Franklin. I choose him becouse he did a lot of usefull inventions, like a bifocal lenses, electrical ground, etc. But I choose him not only becouse he did inventions. I choose him becouse he was ready to give a life for a science. He show it when he flying the kite and waiting to be struck by lightning. Without B.Franklin and his inventions our life will be imposible. Bifocal lens, electrical ground, refrigeration, batteries - everything invent Benjamin Franklin!
I think only Benjamin Franklin would have a Nobel Peace Prize.
The leader I would nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize is Thomas Jefferson because he was the third president of the United States and one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence. Biographer James Parton said Thomas Jefferson could "calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, dance a minuet, and play the violin." Besides serving two terms as president, Jefferson served as vice-president, secretary of state, and minister to France, congressman, governor of Virginia; he also founded the University of Virginia and served as president of the American Philosophical Society. For all that, Jefferson is best remembered as a champion of human rights and the lead draftsman of the Declaration of Independence. High points of his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon and the exploration of the west by Lewis and Clark. The third person to be president, Jefferson followed John Adams as president and was succeeded by James Madison. Jefferson's face had appeared on the U.S. nickel and the two-dollar bill. Thomas Jefferson believed that each citizen could work to better society. He said “ It is my principle that the will of the Majority should always prevail [win] … Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; [I am] convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.” This is the leader I would nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The person i would nominate is Thomas Jefferson.
I nominate him because back when he was president, he served as a president for 2 terms. Jefferson also invented many things such as the sundial, beds, revolving chairs, book stands, and much more. Another reason why i also nominate Thomas Jefferson is because he was on of the drafters that wrote the Declaration Of Independence. My final reason of why Thomas Jefferson should be nominated is that his face appered on the U.S nickel and 2 dollar bill. Thats why i believe Thomas Jefferson should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The person I would nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize would be(on a serious note)Gorge Washington because he helped America a lot. He helped the country win the Revolutionary war, which was a big deal because they had no hope in wining that war and Gorge W. really helped them out. He also was the 1st president, the first man to experience all the power of that role, he had a tough position because he was the 1st and there probably was a lot of opposition towards him, but he did a good job. This is why I think he should get the prize, if he was still alive.
I would nominate George Washington.
I choose him because he did a lot for America.For example, he helped freed american from the horrible grasp of the British.I also choose him because he was the first president of the United States. He also helped with the eltorcal collage.
If it wasn't for him, we would still be in the grasp of the British.
He gave us freedom!
Thank you!
I would nominate George Washington for the Noble Prize because George Washington had lots of knowledge being a General and a President. For example, he was chosen to help run the Revolutionary war and he made great success by freeing us from the british. On July,4,1776 we became a country the USA!. Being elected as the first president of the US is also important and full of history so George Washington helped us and now we are free from the British and still known as the best country.
I would nominate Alexander Hamilton. Without Alexander Hamilton I doubt Usa would be a country, after all the debt they were in. Usa owned foreign countries 11.7 million and 65.4m to it's owned domestic and states. Alexander Hamilton was a man who shred his blood to save his country, as he bergained with the southeners to pay the debt by the federal goverment paying $21.5 million dollars. Without Hamilton the federal goverment wouldn't even pay a penny. Since the northerners were having problems with having New York as a capital, Alexander solved in 1 2 3...by making Philadalphia the captial. Philidalphia, as a capital solved everything.
Thanks to Alexander we still have a country to be proud off.
I would nominate Thomas Jefferson.I would nominate him because he obvioulsy was a very smart man because he invented many things like beds which we use today to sleep on and also the bifocal lenses which are basically glasses. I am also nominating Thomas Jefferson because he was one of Americas founding fathers which is a very important to America. I would encourage everyone to nominate Thomas Jefferson for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The person I would nominate would be the 3rd president of the United States Thomas Jefferson for the Nobel Peace Prize. Thomas Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence he was also one of the most founding fathers of republicanism of his promotion. Thomas Jefferson also believed educating people was a great way to establish a society. He also believed of how schools should be paid by the public so people who aren’t wealthy could also join the school too. This is why I think Thomas Jefferson should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I would nominate George Washington. I would nominate George Washingotn because he was the first president and he was the general in the army. He helped the soldiers to win the Revalutionary war and to make the british free and have freedom! Also, he is on the dollar bill and the quarter. That is why i would nominate him for Nobel Peace Prize.
I would nominate Geroge Washington for The Nobel prize becasue he did many things for America as the first president. He freed Americam from Britian in the Revolutionary war July 4 1776. On the day America is independent, which is why now we have a holiday Independence day on july 4. Today there is a mountain Rushmore which has the 4 Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
This is why I nominate Geroge Washington for the nobel prize
I would give a Noble peace prize to Thomas Jefferson he has done so much and he deserves it. He was our 3rd president and he was one of the people who wrote the declaration of independence. He served two terms as president and served as vice-president secretary of state, and minister to France, congressman and governor of Virginia. He is on the nickel and he is also on the 2 dollar bill.
I would nominate George Washington because he was our 1 presdent and the only won who stepped into a war and helped us win. If not for him right now we would be paying taxes and would not have the freedom and indepence we have today.
The leader I would nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize is George Washington because he was the first president of the United States and he had taken part in the Continental Congresses and in creating the Constitution.George Washington also helped establish and strengthen the new national governement.He helped the country win the Revolutionary war,which is huge becausse he made history .and since he was the firs president he set examples for upcoming presidents .and if gearge washington was still alive i think he would have been nominated for the Noble Peace Prize.
I would nominate John Adams as a Noble Peace Prize winner. John Adams was honest, hard working, intelligent, saved human lives from going to a war, and he tried his best to win people’s trust. Instead of declaring war with France, he made peace with them. At first John Adams was attempted to improve the relationship between the United States and France. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. As soon as the federalists in congress declared war with France, John Adams asked the Congress to expand the navy to a fleet of more than 30 ships to prepare for the war and he decided that the United States should have a Peace Time army. When he realized the cost of having a war, he reopened peace talks with France. The Federalists was stunned by this idea and he sent the representatives to France to negotiate. Both countries ended up signing a peace treaty and were stopped from the war. That’s why I nominate John Adams for the Nobel Peace Prize.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton each have their own ways of how the country should be governed. For example, Alexander thought that there should be a ruler and people should take smalls parts in the role of government. While Thomas Jefferson thought that the country should be run by people.
The person i would nominate would be George Washington. George Washington was the first president of the united states and was a great general in the revolutionary war. he also helped us create the constitution by takiing part in the continental congress. Being the first president is a big responsibilty and he took that job and put so much effort in it. He was the president of this country, and he helped make it the most wealthiest country in the world.
I would nominate gorge Washington for the Nobel Prize. I would nominate him because he was a great leader. For example he was chosen to lead us in the revolutionary war. He helped us escape from the British. On, july4, 1776 we became the United States of America. Gorge Washington became our first leader that was very important and proves he iwas a great leader.
the anwer i yes and no .they have the power to be at peace but it is the duty of tyhe executive branch to protect the nation. by doing so they probably arent the piecefull ones but they can make piece treatys
The person who would be the best would be George Washington. I chose George Washington is because he did a lot for our country. He was the one who made America an independent nation. He was also chosen as the first president. He served two terms people wanted him for a third too but he said no. This is why I think George Washington deserves the Nobel peace prize.
The leader that I'd nominate for the Noble Peace Prize is Thomas Jefferson. If he hadn't written the Declaration of Independence, we wouldn't have the American Revolution that gave us freedom. The American Revolution helped us break free, and without the Declaration of Independence, Great Britain would still be in control of us. Not only did he help give us independence, but he was also the governor of Virginia. Jefferson was also serving in office for two terms to help take care of our nation. Thanks to him, we have have both freedoms and rights. That's why I'd nominate Thomas Jefferson for the Noble Peace Prize.
I would nominate George Washington because he was the first President of The United States of America. He also helped the country in the revolutionary war. He helped us get free from the hands of the british. He must be important because he is on the dollar bill and the quater.Thats why I would nominate george washington for nobel piece prize.
