Select a quote from pg. 120. Do you agree or disagree with it?

"I hope you will not consider yourself as commander-in-chief of your own house, but be convinced, that there is such a thing as equal command."

The quote I selected is the quote by Lucy Flucker Knox, to her husband Henry Knox, upon his return as a hero from the Revolutionary War. I agree with this quote. I believe there should be an equal command. Everyone should be equal and in charge of themselves. There should not be one person in command or leading. One person should not feel as though they are a commander at all times. One should be in charge of themselves and lead their own lives. I also believe that the government should not be in charge of the people because it seems to me that they are. We, the people, should be in charge of ourselves and lead our own lives as individuals and as our own leaders and commanders.
