About The Founding Fathers
In the summer of 1776, a handful of delegates gathered in Philadelphia and put their names, and their lives, to a document that changed the world. The years that followed brought debate, compromise, and the careful architecture of a Constitution designed to hold a fractious new nation together. From the inked signatures of Independence Hall to the first Senate chamber, these founders built something that had never quite been tried before.
