The Founding Fathers left a legacy that continues today. Their actions were well thought out, their words were carefully chosen, what they left behind was intended to be a lasting, detailed, outline for the democracy they fought for. These men knew that as the founders of our country, their actions would be dissected, checked, judged, and dissected again. Thus, these men looked to how they would be remembered in posterity according to their words and deeds.
