Scenarios about 'Founding Fathers'
The Founding Fathers were the political leaders who signed the Declaration of Independence, participated in the American Revolution, or helped craft the U.S. Constitution in the late 18th century. This group, including figures like Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Hamilton, established the philosophical and governmental foundations of the United States through their writings, debates, and compromises. In alternate history scenarios, their different decisions or the absence of key figures often creates dramatically different American political systems and constitutional frameworks.
