Reflection On Reading Doctrine Three - 1215 Words

From reading Benjamin Franklin, I felt that he talks about this in the beginning when addressing the President about the Constitution and his approval. â€Å"I am not sure I shall never approve it; for, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change my opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that, the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment of others.† (Franklin 128) From this passage it shows that from being older and knowing that others could be right, gives him the ability to think correctly and express his stance on the matter in a professional manner.
