Class Summary

Today’s United States citizens owe many freedoms to the early work of William Penn. Nearly 90 years before the United States would have a constitutional convention, Penn laid foundation stones in his own governmental work that would inspire the framers of the constitution. Thomas Jefferson felt that Penn was the greatest lawgiver to have lived. This course will show you why.
