The Founding Fathers (Constitution Framers) pondered and deliberated how to protect the inalienable rights given by the Creator as declared in the Declaration in a system of government that would be run by imperfect humans.There are few names known by the citizens of America that were at the Constitutional Convention – George Washington, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton —but most are unknown to American citizens today. Notably there were 6 members of this 55 member Constitutional Convention that also signed the Declaration of Independence, this is quite an unique group. But what it also means is that there were 49 additional men who did not sign the Declaration but were a part thinking through the formation of our system of government.There was a definite dimension of spiritual guidance and Divine Providence that took place during this Convention. Upon facing and impasse that was going to break the Convention apart, Benjamin Franklin suggested that the members pause for a day of reflection and prayer, that they should ask God for guidance. The Convention did just that, and after that the breakthroughs came.Alexander Hamilton later reflected that “For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.” Other founders said the same..The biographical sketches of these men are grouped together by the state they represent and in the order that the states ratified the Constitution. This gives the reader a better sense of who they were as colleagues working together verses an alphabetical listing that separates them from their state peers.This was a different environment than the flat out bravery that was required to sign the Declaration, yet it was an environment of deep reflection as they sought to create a new system of government… A Covenant between the leaders and the people and under God….”We the People of the United States….
