Constitution day George Washington: A military man. Benjamin Franklin: made self rich through the Pennsylvania Gazette James Madison: very educated; one of the youngest delagates there Alexander Hamilton: married rich These are just a few of the names that belong to quite possibly some of the most important men in America's history. Most of these men were rich, or at least well off. Because so many of them were in the military at one point our constitution is based a lot on freedom. All of these men came together with one common goal, to unite America. It took awhile and was very risky, but they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom.
Random The Legislative branch has the most extensive powers. The Judicial branch of Gov'ts' powers are very vague. The founding fathers put the Constitution in order from most important to least important(though they are all important).
