Benjamin Franklin and Freedom of Speech, Press and Religion
There's a reason freedom of speech, press and religion are expressed within the First Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Benjamin Franklin compared freedom of speech to freedom of thought and it is from this ability to reason and conceive ideas that all other freedoms derive. It is therefore fitting that the first Issue of Liberty series is a celebration of the ideas prominently featured in the First Amendment along with one of America's most prolific thinkers and founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin
The North American printer, publisher, writer, scientist, inventor and statesman became one of the founding fathers of the United States. Benjamin Franklin participated in the drafting of the United States Declaration of Independence and was one of its signatories. As a delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, he participated in the drafting of the American Constitution. During the American Revolution, he represented the United States as a diplomat in France. In the field of science, he was best known for his contributions to the study of electricity. He was able to prove that thunderstorms are caused by the discharge of electricity from the air, whereupon he also invented the principle of the lightning rod...

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on 17 January 1706.

Franklin enjoyed a school education until the age of ten. Afterwards he helped in his father's business. He learned the trade of printer from his brother. At the same time he educated himself by reading. From 1721, Franklin worked for the New England Courant, a newspaper founded by his brother. He wrote articles with a liberal slant. In 1723, the two brothers separated. Benjamin Franklin moved to Philadelphia. There he worked as a printer. The following year he moved to London to train as a printer. Soon he was known in the literary and publishing circles there. In 1726 he returned to Philadelphia and took up work as a printer. He founded a group called "Junto", which pursued the idea of enlightenment. It later became the American Philosophical Society. In 1729 he became the owner of the "Pennsylvanis Gazette", which he turned into an attractive paper with news, entertainment and Information.
