Best Answer

The idea for carvings in the Black Hills in South Dakota came from Doane Robinson, South Dakota's State Historian. Doane invited Gutzon Borglum to the Black Hills in South Dakota to discuss his idea and see if Gutzon would be interested in doing the carvings.

On his second visit, Gutzon Borglum found Mount Rushmore and agreed to do the carvings and Doane Robinson agreed to work to fund the project.

Why is there only 4 faces on Mount Rushmore?

There are only four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore because there was only room for four. In fact, they had to move the carving of Thomas Jefferson from the right side of George Washington to the left side due to very large cracks found in the rock. Each president represents a period in American history. Washington represents the founding of America, Jefferson represents the expansion of America (through the Louisiana Purchase), Lincoln represents the preservation of America, and Roosevelt represents America in the modern era.

It could, it depends on how strong Mount Rushmore is and what could make it fall apart. The most likely reason for it to fall apart is by earthquake, but I wouldn't count on it falling apart.
