Among the leading intellectuals of his time, Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, a drafter and signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, and the first United States Postmaster General. Franklin is known as The First American.

Alexander Hamilton was a Nevisian-born American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first United States secretary of the treasury from 1789 to 1795. Scholars generally regard Hamilton as an astute and intellectually brilliant administrator, politician, and financier, if often impetuous.

James Madison Jr. was an American statesman, diplomat, and Founding Father. He served as the fourth president of the United States from 1809 to 1817. Madison is hailed as the "Father of the Constitution" for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting The Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.

The Founding Fathers of the United States (known simply as the Founding Fathers, Founders, or Framers) were a group of late-18th-century American revolutionary leaders who united the Thirteen Colonies, oversaw the War of Independence from Great Britain, established the United States, and crafted a framework of government for the new nation.

Historians are in general agreement that six of the most prominent leaders of the Revolutionary Era of 1765–1791 are Founding Fathers: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and Alexander Hamilton.
