Who's your favorite founding father? Mine is James Madison, just because of the Federalist Papers. Hamilton on the other hand 😬

I'd say Hancock simply because of the ego to sign the largest!

John Locke

Oof, Hamilton. 🤦‍♂️ Don’t get me started his rise in popularity. Where’s Lisander Spooner’s (I know, not a founder) musical?

Washington for his principals, Franklin for his style. 🔥

I do love Washington

Patrick Henry for "Liberty or Death" speech

Live free or die.

David Ben Gurion. He've learned Spanish just to read Don Quixote.

Haven't heard of him, sounds like a rad dude though

Yes, he also used to stand on his head at the Tel Aviv beach and when he retired he moved south to the desert until the end of his days, showing the way by personal example. He've made some fatal mistakes, but no one is perfect.

I’ve always liked Madison. “Father of the Constitution.” I’m related to William Whipple

Jefferson, he was a decentralist that argued against the centralized government that was outlined in the federalist papers. I appreciate the precarious position america was in at the time and the need for a united front, but it laid the groundwork for the empire that exists today. Concentration of power only goes one way.
