In my government class, we learned about the Constitutional Convention and how some woman asked Benjamin Franklin whether the Constitution established a republic or monarchy. He said to her: "A republic, madam, if you can keep it." I don’t understand what he meant by this, can anyone explain it to me? Thank you!

what source influence and inspiration did benjamin franklin get that made him do the things he did

I need to write an essay on this quote by Benjamin Franklin (1759, Historical View of Pennsylvania)
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Can somebody please explain this quote to me or give me a website helping me with this quote… my essay has to be at least a page long so I need a lot of information on this ^^
please and thank you =^.^=

I wanted to know if there were anyone else who knows their related to him and how they are. When I looked it up in other sources people thought there were no descendants of him at all that were alive today (which I know is not true). So if his child had children why would no one know were that family tree led? Benjamin Franklin is my 9th great grandfather and it would be nice to know other people that are also in my family tree from him.

I’m doing a ABC Book for my state report and my state is Rhode Island. I’m stuck on the letter "F" and I was thinking of Benjamin Franklin because of his last name. I just need to know if he ever lived or stayed in Rhode Island. Thanks!

how Benjamin Franklin came to the United State?

Ronald Reagan was a much better President than Benjamin Franklin.

Ronald Reagan was in fact, the greatest hero this nation has ever known.

It was his policies that eventually led to the death of Bin Laden – a death in which Obama deserves no credit. Reagan policies killed Bin Laden.

20. In the sentence, Benjamin Franklin enjoyed experimenting with electricity and inventing tools used by many people, which word is a participle?
a. experimenting
b. invented
c. used
d. inventing

There is no science, the study of which is more useful and commendable than the knowledge of the true interest of one’s Country; and perhaps there is no kind of learning more abstruse and intricate, more difficult to acquire in any degree of perfection than this, and there fore none more generally neglected. Hence it is, that we every day find men in conversation contending warmly on some point in politics, which, altho’ it may clearly concern them both, neither of them understand any more than they do each other.
–Benjamin Franklin – 1729

I have a paper to write but I’ve never really gotten the jist of thesis statements. Can I include more than one aspect? I want to write about how Benjamin Franklin was a great inventor and innovator. I was thinking something like this
"During his time, Bejamin Frankling has proven that his inventions and ideologies have shaped the US for all time"

Help? Suggestions? Or should it be completely different? Thank you! (This is for a 4 to 5 pg paper so I’m trying to not be super specific)
