Woody Holton reveals the motives of the Founding Fathers depend widely on individual judgment of the terms under the Articles of Confederation. Holton claims that historians excessively rely on sources by the Federalist which reveals a prejudiced Federalist view (Hollitz, 110). Woody Holton uses the writings of James Madison and Alexander Hamilton to expose the Founding Fathers deeper motives in writing the Constitution. The Founding Fathers were frustrated because state legislatures had been given in to popular demands to reduce taxes and increase the money supply (for relief from the recession).

In 2015, Ms. Ali was the Sales Leader at EXPRESS, Inc. at their Times Square location. She contacted me to photo shoot their District Stylist Newsletter. Again tapping into her production background, Ms. Ali recruited fellow co-workers as models, assembled numerous wardrobes for the shoot, and processed the printing of the newsletter, which was distributed to EXPRESS locations in the Northeast region.
