Thomas Jefferson is number 1 by a long shot, but the country never exists if not for Washington (as a respected person, military commander and first president) so that brings a lot to the table. Franklin was the “coolest” dude. He’s definitely the “have a beer or 10 with” guy.

It's Jefferson but Washington was the only one who could have held the country together in the first years after the drafting and ratification of the constitution

John Jay if I had to pick one.

Roger Sherman is the only one who signed the Continental Association, the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. I also think he was instrumental in the bicameral legislature system that we have.
Pretty neat.

Called out Hamilton’s bitch arse to the streets and put that flintlock on that arse.
That’s a man i can respect. That’s why running your mouth back in the day wasn’t done all that often.
So, you respect traitors and have one at the top of your list of a group that he’s not even a part of.

And Jefferson was wrong about a lot things, including things about a central government.
Without correction of those ideas, this country never takes off and ends up being a bunch of ill-defined colonies under the influence of European powers.
Despite that, he was probably the smartest and most literate of the Founding Fathers. Ben, the wisest and best scientific mind, and Washington, whose military and ethical leadership made it all possible.

George Washington....one bad mofo.
Cross a frozen river at night and kill you in your sleep.
They wanted him to be king. He turned it down. That, my friends, is integrity and honor.
