I am not going to tell you whether or not you can do a person. Your research should tell you whether the person fits the criteria. Winston Churchill and Thomas Jefferson are good choices.

Samuel Johnson is the author of the English dictionary and is a British author. I think he should get this title with all the other people because if he didn't make the dictionary then I and other people, would not know the meanings of a lot of words that I know. He was born in Lichfield, Staffordshire into a family of booksellers and died a sod death caused of serious illnesses in London, England. That is my summary of the life of Samuel Johnson.

Ethan, I appreciate that Mr. Johnson helped with the English language but that is not an example of political change. Samuel Johnson doesn't count. Thanks for getting your work done so quickly but please find someone else.

Olivia, since TJ wrote the Constitution and almost everything America does is based on it, he is a political game changer. Nice choice.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Europe and is the man who started the idea of evolution. He loved to collect beetles and do simple things like that as a kid. Charles Darwin was supposed to go to collage to become a doctor like his father but took an interest in studying species. He died in 1882. Now, because of him, we learn about evolution to this day.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs. He changed the government because he changed the way people look at black people. He made it so black people had the same rights as white people.

Abe Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America and changed the government in a good way. He was a very brave man because of his thoughts on slavery. The reason he stood out to me rather than Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King is because he was fighting for other people to be free. Mr. Lincoln's actions did not benefit him in any way, he wasn't a slave. Sadly, 4 years later after, Abe got elected he was shot by a man named John W Booth. I wish Abraham Lincoln was still around because he wasn't a person who wanted to change the world, he did.
