First, Joseph J. Ellis's book, Founding Brothers, is not a novel. It is a non-fiction account of the interrelationships of various Founding Fathers over certain specific issues during the time of the creation of the United States of America. We refer to men like Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and others as "Founding Fathers" because they are from prior generations. But during their lifetimes, they were of the same generations just like brothers are. The book goes into several topics where the "Founding Fathers" had some strong differences of opinion and even fought amongst themselves in much the same way that brothers argue over matters within their families. The Founding Fathers were certainly not all of the same political mind, even though it might seem that way to us now.

Most of the laws first set forth by the constitution were for the wealthy, not for the everyday people. The founding fathers were out for their own economic interests

What is a good thesis for a paper on youth of America?

What motive did the founding fathers have for adding the right to bear arms into the constitution?
They were allowing for the formation of national armed forces. It seems unlikely they would have to indicate to pioneers living on the land, that they would have a right to bear arms. Since the Constitution concerns itself primarily with Affairs having something to do primarily with the State. As was Jefferson's manner, the statute is drafted in Thesis format. The text was stated so that subsequent amendments would not amend the original Thesis. His approach...start with the best Thesis sentence possible and separate the thesis from any corruptions which may infringe upon its acceptance as a principle.
