 * Frederic Passy **

**Federic Passy was born on May,20,1822, in Paris, France, he died June,12,1912, in his hometown Paris France.**

**The reason why he got the award was he was the Founder and the President of first French peace society (since 1889 called Société française pour l'arbitrage entre nations).**

**In 1867, encouraged by his leadership of public opinion in trying to avert possible war between France and Prussia over the Luxembourg question.**

**Frederic was a very smart man and kept his word towards everything. He wanted to help France come to peace this is another reason why he got the Nobel Peace Prize.**

**He also kept his efforts within the Government, and then he was also elected to the chamber of Deputies in 1881, again in 1885, and defeated in 1889.**

**His job in the Chamber was he supported legislation favorable to labor. Passy’s goal was was peace to France for free trade and dignity for the country.**

**Passy was a very passionate speaker he was noted for the demands he said for France if it wasn’t for Passy France would not be how it is today.**

**As well for his powerful voice when he spoke and when he did he kept his very word for everything he said and he did everything he said.**

**He was also a part of the peace movement and Humanitarian work, When Passy died he was ninety years old and he had lived in Paris his whole ninety years of his life.**

**I think Passy died of old age, but Passy was the second male to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The award to him was individual. Passy was very interesting to do and I enjoyed it.**


 * The reason why Frederic Passy should be important to people is because, he did alot for his country for it to be the way it is today and we should think that is ver important since he took time and helped his country become good.**
