The evolution of Ben Franklin’s ideals

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin does little to help one understand his role in the Revolution and the writing of the Constitution in that it stops in 1750. It does however give insight into a man who has been called the first American. It offers insight into what is called the Age of Reason. Franklin, however, does provide us with a short speech at the Constitutional Convention which reflects the evolution of his thinking about the perfectibility of man. www.usconstitution.net/franklin.html(this is what needs to be cited)
