1. Bradford left England to escape religious persecution. In America today, we have religious persecution but on a personal level, though under law we have freedom to practice whatever religion we choose, if we even choose to follow one. So Bradford would be happy with this because you cannot completely get rid of complications between humans and this is the closest we can get. With the democratic government, I believe he would be happy also. America does have a democracy, although we do no necessarily follow the exact examplatory guidelines of what a democracy is. It would be very hard to follow it exactly due to the large population in America.

2. Fear and guilt does something to the human psyche that makes us motivated. Humans have always, and will always use these two devices to motive the public. When a person is fearful or feeling guilty because of something they have not done, chances are that they will complete whatever that task was. Using 9/11 as an example, when this happened an enormous wave of fear crashed on the country and people felt guilty that they couldn't do anything to help. So, they did the only thing they felt they could do which was to support their country. When presidents have brought it up, the patriotic level had gone back up. Just like Edwards used fear to provoke people back into following religion our presidents used 9/11 to boost American's morale.

3. Personally, I believe that neither of these men alone would be suitable to be an American leader. Bradford was very open and wanted freedom, which is all very good. Although, I do not believe that he would be suitable because he seemed that he would want to change things a lot. With Edwards he was very stubborn and stuck to his roots. This is a good quality for a leader, but you have to be able to bend as well. He also liked to use fear a lot. People aren't going to like this, so they aren't going to trust it. When you don't trust your leader, you don't follow their laws. Along with this, you aren't going to want him to continue being your leader. If they were to match each others qualities, they would make a perfect leader. Both of their qualities together would mean that they would be able to have ideas, present them well and make people see the good in them, making the public trust them and enjoy their leadership.
