Ben Franklin

A surprising fact about Ben Franklin was that he was not in favor of the American Revolution; he helped with it due to the fact he was in favor of the colonies not because he wanted independence from England. He was a one of a kind person, someone who did it all. It was the time that he had to focus on other studies other than printing than made him into who he is today. Benjamin Franklin was a man of all around ability and could be called a renaissance man when his whole life is taken into perspective. What Franklin did was all for the colonies, that is whose best interests he held before everything else. In 1787 Franklin retired from all politics but in his retirement he was invited to be a delegate for the United States Constitution. The work in the printing business continued until 1748 when he chose to retire. lly Franklin got into a fight with his brother and left to go to Philadelphia to continue his work in the printing business. He was a great man and society will always remember him for what he did with politics and science. His theory was a simplified version of what really happens, although simple it is very true. Through all of his work he was the only one to sign the Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution. Through his work as a scientist Franklin became a Fellow of the Royal Society. This theory states that these charges decide the electromagnetic interaction and while this is what Franklin discovered he did not have the resources to show how complicated it really is. Franklin did a lot with politics from going to England to try and represent the colonists to being a member of the continental congress and helping edit the Declaration of Independence.
