The Oldest Man to Sign the Constitution
Though most people don’t know it Benjamin franklin was interestingly the only person to sign the all four documents that helped America become a free nation. King George, who was the King of England, considered these drafts treason. So, Benjamin franklin amazingly risked his life by signing these documents. Obviously, the British did not acknowledge that the colonists freedom, which led to the Revolutionary war. Later Franklin journeyed to France to ask for their friendship in the war. It’s good that France helped because America would not have won without France’s help. At the age of eighty -one, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest man to sign the constitution.
