Thirteen of the Founding Fathers signed the Articles of Confederation, which was adopted in 1777 and ratified in 1781. Notable signers included John Dickinson, who was instrumental in drafting the document, and other prominent figures like Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock. However, some key Founding Fathers, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, did not sign the Articles as they were either not present at the Continental Congress or serving in other capacities at that time.

The founding fathers felt it was important that government had specific and defined limitations so that it could not become too powerful and infringe on the rights of citizens. One of the ways they limited the power of government was by separating it into three different entities which all policed each other through different rights and responsibilities.

Well, let's see...They founded the country, who else would you call "Founding Fathers" other than the men who founded the country? Michael Montagne
Our founding fathers wanted the United States to allow citizens to practice whatever religion they chose. They did not want the United States government to establish only one religion. Our founding fathers wanted the citizens of the United States to have the freedom of religious choice, so placed this requirement in the Bill of Rights. That way, the United States government could not require citizens to practice Islam, Buddhism, or any other type of religion.

I would think it is mostly the other way around, except maybe historical revisionism, which both sides are guilty of. The intent of the founding Fathers was a secular republic as the Constitution makes clear to anyone not deluded. We have no religious foundations to this country and many, if not most of the founding Fathers were deists and far from religious.
Columbia University, originally known as King's College, was established in 1754. Among the Founding Fathers of the United States, Alexander Hamilton is the most notable alumnus, having attended the college before it was renamed. While other Founding Fathers may have had connections to the institution, Hamilton is the primary figure associated with its early history.
