Ep. 286 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Ben Franklin | Benjamin Franklin: Founding Father, Faithful Patriot

Perhaps there is no greater archetype of the American Dream than Benjamin Franklin in the founding generation.  A printer's apprentice, he rose to become a writer, statesman and scientist.  Along the way, he helped draft and sign the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution and became our country's first postmaster general and served as an ambassador to France.  As we celebrate our country's 250th birthday this year, we are delighted to have a chance to chat with Dr. Franklin, wonderfully portrayed by David Holland of the American Historical Theatre.
