The most famous man of his age, Benjamin Franklin was an individual
of many talents and accomplishments. He invented the wood-burning
stove and the lightning rod, he wrote Poor Richard's Almanac and
The Way to Wealth, and he traveled the world as a diplomat. But it
was in politics that Franklin made his greatest impact.
Franklin's political writings are full of fascinating
reflections on human nature, on the character of good leadership,
and on why government is such a messy and problematic business.
Drawing together threads in Franklin's writings, Lorraine Smith
Pangle illuminates his thoughts on citizenship, federalism,
constitutional government, the role of civil associations, and
religious freedom.
Of the American Founders, Franklin had an unrivaled
understanding of the individual human soul. At the heart of his
political vision is a view of democratic citizenship, a rich
understanding of the qualities of the heart and mind necessary to
support liberty and sustain happiness.
This concise introduction reflects Franklin's valuable insight
into political issues that continue to be relevant today.
