Best Answer

All the founding fathers were actually looking for changes and were the facto liberals. All the founding fathers wanted a clear separation between state and church, making them liberals. So you could assume they were Democrats ...

However, the main argument for separation was that they were upset to pay taxes to the Great Britain, who was looking to tax the colonies. This alone, the fact that they didn't want to pay any taxes, makes them Republicans.

But over the years, even the Republicans and the Democrats values changed. Today's Democrats are the old Republicans, and vice versa.

The best way to honor your founding fathers is to vote and encourage the separation of the church and the state, encourage liberal values while respecting the conservatives who protect your gains, in a small government environment.
