Benjamin Franklin is credited with establishing the science of electricity. John Adams had the finest education in science that the new country could provide, including "Pnewmaticks, Hydrostaticks, Mechanicks, Staticks, Opticks." James Madison, chief architect of the Constitution, peppered his Federalist Papers with references to physics, chemistry, and the life sciences.

Book Synopsis The Founding Fathers Reconsidered by : R. B. Bernstein
Download or read book The Founding Fathers Reconsidered written by R. B. Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a vividly written and compact overview of the brilliant, flawed, and quarrelsome group of lawyers, politicians, merchants, military men, and clergy known as the "Founding Fathers"--who got as close to the ideal of the Platonic "philosopher-kings" as American or world history has ever seen. In The Founding Fathers Reconsidered, R. B. Bernstein reveals Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, and the other founders not as shining demigods but as imperfect human beings--people much like us--who nevertheless achieved political greatness. They emerge here as men who sought to transcend their intellectual world even as they were bound by its limits, men who strove to lead the new nation even as they had to defer to the great body of the people and learn with them the possibilities and limitations of politics. Bernstein deftly traces the dynamic forces that molded these men and their contemporaries as British colonists in North America and as intellectual citizens of the Atlantic civilization's Age of Enlightenment. He analyzes the American Revolution, the framing and adoption of state and federal constitutions, and the key concepts and problems--among them independence, federalism, equality, slavery, and the separation of church and state--that both shaped and circumscribed the founders' achievements as the United States sought its place in the world.

Book Synopsis The Founding Fathers and the Debate Over Religion in Revolutionary America by : Matthew Harris
Download or read book The Founding Fathers and the Debate Over Religion in Revolutionary America written by Matthew Harris and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to understand this debate. The texts included in this volume - writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet fractious role in the era of the American Revolution. In their personal beliefs, the Founders ranged from profound skeptics like Thomas Paine to traditional Christians like Patrick Henry. Nevertheless, most of the Founding Fathers rallied around certain crucial religious principles, including the idea that people were "created" equal, the belief that religious freedom required the disestablishment of state-backed denominations, the necessity of virtue in a republic, and the role of Providence in guiding the affairs of nations. Harris and Kidd show that through the struggles of war and the framing of the Constitution, Americans sought to reconcile their dedication to religious vitality with their commitment to religious freedom.

Book Synopsis The Real Story Behind the Founding Fathers by : Rachael Morlock
Download or read book The Real Story Behind the Founding Fathers written by Rachael Morlock and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Founding Fathers are essential to the American narrative. Unfortunately, popular histories have a tendency to gloss over unpleasant truths and harmonize the discordant voices of the past. This book looks beyond powdered wigs and polished portraits to find the human founders of the United States. Multiple and minority perspectives are taken into account, and well-worn stories of the founding era are revisited, from the complex issues of slavery and religion to the myth of George Washington's wooden teeth. Thoughtful text and fun sidebars illuminate primary sources and invite readers to think critically about these familiar figures in American history.
Book Synopsis The Founding Fathers by : Charles W. Meister
Download or read book The Founding Fathers written by Charles W. Meister and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A completely newly researched story of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and of the lives of the most prominent framers of the Constitution: Oliver Ellsworth, Benjamin Franklin, Nathaniel Gotham, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, George Mason, Gouverneur Morris, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Edmund Randolph, John Rutledge, Roger Sherman, George Washington, and James Wilson. Among items discussed are the main compromises of the Convention, the battle over slavery and states' rights, sectional and economic disputes and alliances, and the reason for the great strength of the Constitution as a bulwark of American democracy. Stressed are the greatest prose stylists, the leading parliamentarians, the political theorists and strategists, and those most zealous in preserving individual rights and liberties. The Indian influence upon American government is noted, as is the extent to which the Constitution has been used as model by other nations seeking constitutional government. At a time when the intent of the framers is of crucial importance, this book supplies that information.
