Who is this American Founding Father and all-around Renaissance Man?

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” The late Renaissance Man did both. The inventor of bifocals and the lightning rod, Benjamin Franklin dipped his toe in everything, including science, writing, printing, publishing, inventing, and of course, politics, bringing the Age of Enlightenment to America. As one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Franklin was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of Independence (he even signed his work!) and, during the American Revolution, was a diplomat to France, representing the United States.
