Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) was an American polymath and one of the most influential Founding Fathers of the United States. A true "Renaissance man" of the 18th century, he excelled as a scientist, inventor, diplomat, writer, and printer. He is uniquely distinguished as the only person to have signed all four of the key documents that established the U.S.: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France, the Treaty of Paris, and the U.S. Constitution.
