Why did they build the Liberty Bell?
The Liberty Bell was ordered in 1751 to commemorate William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, which had been passed 50 years earlier. It was cast in 1752 in London and commissioned as the bell for the Pennsylvania State House (now called Independence Hall). The Liberty Bell represented the freedoms valued by the Pennsylvania colony. Its founder, William Penn, showed unique free thinking with his novel ideas on religious freedom, Native American rights, and citizen participation in government.
The bell's first crack appeared during the test ringing. It was recast with more copper to make the metal alloy stronger. The bell cracked again when it was rung during John Marshall's funeral in 1835. The Liberty Bell rang its last note in 1846 to honor George Washington's birthday. After the bell was rung on Washington's birthday, there appeared a distinct jagged line that prevented the bell from ever being rung again.

What was written on the Liberty Bell?
what different political stances in various eras. The history of American conservatism has been marked by tensions and outright contradictions, with intellectual debates not only between types of anti-communists and anti-statists, but between traditionalist and individualists who affirmed the primacy of religion, politics, or economics[1] The first sustained political movement that tried to bring together most of the different strands appeared in the 1950s.[2] Before this, however, Allitt (2009) finds that, "Certain continuities can be traced through American history. The conservative 'attitude' ... was one of trusting to the past, to long-established patterns of thought and conduct, and of assuming that novelties were more likely to be dangerous than advantageous."[3] Historian Gregory Schneider identifies several constants in American conservatism: respect for tradition, support of republicanism, preservation of "the rule of law and the Christian religion", and a defense of "Western civilization from the challenges of modernist culture and totalitarian governments."[4] From the late 19th century onward, conservatives have been dedicated to preventing the rise and spread of socialism and communism[5][6]
The modern conservative movement is often identified with the ideas in Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind, published in 1953.[7] In 1955, William F. Buckley, Jr. founded National Review, a conservative magazine that included traditionalists, such as Kirk, along with Roman Catholics, some libertarians, and anti-communists. This bringing together of separate ideologies under a conservative umbrella was known as "fusionism". Modern conservatism became a major political force in 1964, when Barry Goldwater, a U.S. Senator from Arizona and author of The Conscience of a Conservative (1960), won the Republican presidential nomination after a fierce contest. He lost badly in the national election but permanently shifted the party to the right. In the 1970s moral issues-abortion, sexuality, and the family-became politically prominent and conservatives staked out distinctive positions, often with grassroots support from religious organizations such as the Moral Majority.
In the 1980s President Ronald Reagan solidified conservative Republican strength with tax cuts, deregulation, a policy of rolling back Communism (rather than just containing it), a greatly strengthened military, and appeals to family values, Christian morality, and limited government. The Reagan model became the conservative standard for social, economic and foreign policy issues, and that era of American history became known as the "Reagan Era."[8]
Core conservative beliefs in the 21st century include reduced government regulation of business and banking,[9] resistance to world government and to environmentalism, support for Israel[10] and for American military intervention overseas,[11] opposition to abortion and homosexuality, support for Christian education in the public schools,[12][13] support for the right to bear arms,[14] securing the U.S borders and strict enforcement of the law,[15] and a sharp reduction in taxes.[16][17][18] As of June 2010[update], 4
