Which Founding Father Are You?

You are John Adams, the lawyer, historian, Founding Father, Father of the Navy, and second President of the United States! Like Adams, you are honest, have strong morals, and are a great judge of character. You are a deep thinker who likes to study history and politics and appreciates the importance of an education. You also like to spend time outdoors and write, whether it be in a diary or corresponding with your friends.

You are Benjamin Franklin, the outgoing Founding Father who was known for being an author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. He was very popular with both politicians and the ladies, and he was also a deep thinker who was hardworking and creative. Like Ben, you have many skills and talents. You are also scholarly and have always been popular no matter where you are!

You are Alexander Hamilton, who was the chief staff aide to George Washington, one of the most influential interpreters and promoters of the U.S. Constitution, founder of the first national bank, and founder of the Federalist Party. Like Hamilton, you are a big supporter of a strong central government and know a lot about economics. You are also smart and influential, like Hamilton, who had almost all of the power behind the Washington administration.

You are John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States. He was interested in the judicial system as well as foreign policy, and an advocate for a strong central government. He was initially liked by the Founding Fathers because he was a reasonable moderate, although he did become more radical as he grew older. Like Jay, you are a smart, reasonable person who always sticks up for your beliefs.

You are Thomas Jefferson, the individualist who founded the Democratic-Republican party in opposition to the Federalists and wrote the Declaration of Independence. Like Jefferson, who was a polymath in arts, sciences, and politics, you have a broad range of talents and interests. You are an excellent writer and thinker, although you are not good at getting your words out orally. You are an introvert with a strong inner mind.

You are George Washington, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and the first President of the United States. Above all, you are a great leader. People look up to you because you are steadfast in purpose, sincere, and honest. You remain dignified and strong in difficult situations, although you can have a bit of a temper at times (hey, nobody's perfect). You also love to have fun, like Washington, whose interests ranged from dancing to hunting.
