Benjamin Franklin

What he meant was the only true way to keep something secret is to trust it to only yourself. Just as the three shared trust enough for the secret, they also individually have those they trust to whom they may reveal the secret. It will no longer be a secret if it spread outside of the original three.

True that the historical evidence does say that he proposed an experiment, but no evidence says that he actually DID do the experiment.

I think the only things that they are alike in is that they were founding members of the United States, but other than that nothing. Washington was rather stogy and formal and very seldom laughed. While Franklin was the life of the party and loved to flirt and drink. I think Ben Franklin would have been fun to be around, but not Washington. Washington thought his hands were too big so never shook hands with people and he was always aware that he stood out compared to others. He was a big man over 6 foot with red hair while Ben Franklin was a short balding man. I am not sure that the two got along, but I don't think many people got along well with Washington like they did with Franklin.

He was born a slave in Maryland, around 1830 but became an inventor. He learned to read and write from his master child when it was against the law to teach a slave to read and write. When he was a teen, he made a steam machine out of scrap metals.

Benjamin Franklin was one of many delegates whose job was to think of ideas that should be implemented into the Constitution. He had many ideas like a single chambered legislature and an executive board rather than a president, but both ideas were never used. He was great at dissolving disputes and organizing compromise. Benjamin Franklin was 81 by the time of the Convention and fell asleep a lot, but his guidance was present nevertheless. Though he was not nearly as active in creating this new form of government as someone like James Madison, all of the delegates respected him, so as the person above said, he was great at settling disputes. In addition, most of Europe, especially Great Britain and France, knew of and respected Benjamin Franklin, thus giving the Convention validity to the rest of the world.

no i don't even think the drug tobacco was discovered yet.

this is a ridiculous answer - the native Americans were using tobacco as early as 400 AD, which was demonstrated by a carving of a Mayan priest smoking that dated around that time. The Native Americans tried to give Columbus tobacco in the 1490's. Tobacco was around long before Ben Franklin, in fact it was one of this countries largest exports before and after the revolution. I do not know if he smoked, but he almost definitely grew tobacco.

Actually, while it is well-known that most of the 'founding fathers' did grow tobacco (as in George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson), there is no evidence that Ben ever smoked nor grew tobacco.

When he turned ten, Benjamin's schooling ended, as his father -- who had nine other children -- needed Ben to assist in the family business. At age twelve, Ben no longer worked for his father, and instead was a apprentice for his brother.

Benjamin Franklin lived in the 1700s, the time when the Revolutionary War took place and America gained its independence. He lived to see this happen, and in fact was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also alive to see George Washington become the first president of the new United States of America.

Franklin was in the midst of much of the news in the 1700s, because he was an inventor, a printer and publisher, a postmaster, an author, and a world traveler; and in his role as a diplomat, he helped to negotiate a treaty with France in 1778.

how many do you think? 17 children including the few that died(i believe) So 19(i think)

A few.

His mechanical explanation for electrical force turned out to be wrong. In fairness, the concept of a "field" had not been invented.

The original design for the Franklin Stove was a magnificent failure, mainly because Franklin did not have the proper understanding of heat. Instead of a being more efficient means of heating a room, it usually just filled the room with smoke. It was an improvement on chimneys, but later inventors made it practical.

His attempt to cook a turkey solely by electric shock failed.

Benjamin Franklin did not discover electricity, but simply discovered that lightning was electricity.

When he took over his brother's printing business after the British arrested him for sedition Ben took his first pen name because he didn't want anyone to know "who" he was so he could keep writing. He was only 16 or 17 years old, was an apprentice, and was committing treason ( as far as the British were concern). His "Poor Richard" was a joke for him and he just kept using it.

The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre resulted in the death of five colonists. British troops in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were there to stop demonstrations against the Townshend Acts and keep order, but instead they provoked outrage.

$7 to $12 regardless of its series letter.

Ben was always an inventor, even as a child. I read one story where he invented a set of water wing things to fit on his feet because he wanted to cross a pond but not swim. He did it and they worked. He was always a reader and thinker. He had to hide books from his father and his father pulled him out of school at 8 years old. He was gifted.

also he got laid whenever he invented something :p

he wanted to make the world easier and more saficiant.

Benjamin Franklin helped in many ways including convincing French to help the U.S. One of his largest helps to the Americans was his part in the Treaty of Paris, which ends the Revolution, the U.S. gained independence, British recognizes U.S. as a nation and the U.S. aquires land east of the Mississippi River.

Franklin Half dollars are common coins, complete sets (35 coins) are not hard to find. Because of this, and the high price of silver, circulated coins are valued slightly above the silver content of the coin about $11.00 each. Only a set of Mint State coins would have a higher premium. Also for this series no coins with a "S' mintmark were struck after 1954.

Each and every point discussed within the Declaration of Independence was intended to clarify the intent of the Colonies to break free from British rule completely and become a self sufficient governing nation.

It depends on your point of view, nationality and political preferences.
