Franklin, Benjamin (1706-90) was a Philadelphia printer, self-taught scientist, sage, inventor, author, revolutionary, and diplomat. He was, by age and experience, the senior member of the committee that charged Jefferson with the task of drafting the Declaration of independence. Eleven years later the elderly Franklin helped draft the new United States Constitution. In the interim he served as American ambassador to France, where he was lionized as the epitome of American openness and candor. His contributions to American letters include his Autobiography and Poor Richard s Almanac.
