Best Answer

Benjamin Franklin represents America to the rest of the world because he supported Enlightenment ideas of human liberty. His voice was the leading voice in favor of independence from England. He was a well-rounded human and an inspiration to many. In any spare time he had, he would study literature, mathematics, science, and philosophy. Human liberty, freedom, and independence are what make America what it is today. This is why I consider him the BEST example of an American.
