History Challenge 7/20/09
This week’s prize is the book “The Politically Incorrect Guide to The Founding Fathers“
The sponsor for this weeks history challenge is Regnery Publishing.
Passing away on July 23rd, 1793 this founding father was the only one to have signed all four of America’s founding documents (The Articles of Associations 1774, The Declaration of Independence 1776, The Articles of Confederation 1778, and The U.S. Constitution 1787). During the Constitutional Convention he was instrumental in resolving the conflict over representation between the big States and the small States by purposing “The Connecticut Compromise”. Thomas Jefferson once described him as “a man who never said a foolish thing in his life” and John Adams said he was “an old Puritan, as honest as an angel and as firm in the cause of American Independence as Mount Atlas”. Name this Founding Father.
