What is Freedom?

America has always been known as the beacon for freedom throughout the world, but What is Freedom?
Oddly, you would think we would all have the same simple definition, but in the land of the free, I have found that very few people understand what freedom actually is. In this journey to find out what freedom really is, I was led to one of our founding fathers Benjamin Franklin for the answer. Here are a few contributions of Benjamin Franklin.

Assisted in Writing the Declaration of Independence

Praesent faucibus nisl sit amet nulla sollicitudin pretium a sed purus. Nullam bibendum porta magna.

Persuaded the French to Aid the Revolutionary Effort

Praesent faucibus nisl sit amet nulla sollicitudin pretium a sed purus. Nullam bibendum porta magna.

Negotiated Peace with Great Britian

Praesent faucibus nisl sit amet nulla sollicitudin pretium a sed purus. Nullam bibendum porta magna.

"HE WHO WOULD TRADE LIBERTY FOR SOME TEMPORARY SECURITY, DESERVES NEITHER LIBERTY OR SECURITY."

Franklin’s Hidden Role at the Constitutional Convention

Benjamin Franklin is the Founding Father Who Winks at Us

Franklin biographer Walter Isaacson once said, “Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us.” What he means is there is more to Franklin than meets the eye. Isaacson is right, Franklin is winking at us. His role at the Constitutional Convention was crucially important, and without him there would most likely not be a United States. We can understand this based on Franklin’s known diplomacy in France including his many appearances at the most famous Salons of Paris. Historians seek certainty—a document, a letter, a record or some such thing that can be seen and touched. In a

Franklin’s System of Freedom is Mechanical

Freedom is Mechanical

The first thing one needs to understand about Franklin’s system of freedom is that it is mechanical as opposed to philosophical.  In America, we all too often think philosophically, tracing the roots of freedom from Greco/Roman republics and Judeo/Christian traditions. Franklin concentrated on how nature operates and how human beings behave. Much of the discovery of Franklin’s system came through discussions with my Chinese friends. They, of course, have no Greco/Roman/Judeo/Christian background whatsoever, but freedom is very possible there. A mechanical system has components, it can be duplicated. We now know automobiles can be built anywhere in the world to
