The term "Mormonism" is a misnomer and really should not apply.
Members of the LDS church are properly referred to as "Latter Day Saints" not "Mormons"
Joseph Smith was the first prophet of the present dispensation of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it is the Same Gospel that was taught by Jesus Christ when he was on the earth and it is the Same Gospel that was taught to Adam and Eve our first parents.
It is the Church of Jesus Christ, established and presided over by Jesus Christ.
A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") will probably give you one of two answers to this question. They will either say Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith, Jr. Church members believe that Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith and instructed him on how to organize the Church. The Church was officially organized on April 6, 1830 in Palmyra, New York.

Mormons are about the least 'loathsome' people in the world. They also do not idolize Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith was the founder, and he was in upstate New York at the time. Brigham Young took over after Smith's death.
"Mormons", members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe that Jesus Christ founded their church by revealing His truth and restoring priesthood authority to Joseph Smith, Jr. They consider Joseph Smith a Prophet, and Jesus Christ the founder of the Church.
