One of Our Last “Best” Presidents –
Silent Cal was elevated to the presidential chair upon the death of Warren G. Harding. Considered to be the last of the Puritans, Calvin Coolidge believed that government’s responsibility was limited to keeping the peace so that the people and the states could carry on their normal functions, and in this his concepts of civil government closely resembled that of the Founding Fathers.
Although he was degraded as a “do nothing” President, he was, in reality, doing what he was supposed to do. Progressives wanted more government and greater benefits while he believed in less government and greater individual responsibility.
