Who is Benjamin Franklin from The Anti-Federalist Papers; and, the Constitutional Convention Debates and what is their importance?

Benjamin Franklin is without doubt one of the most famous American founders. He was a delegate from Pennsylvania. His position, however, was one of honor, and he rarely participated in the debate. Franklin gave one speech on behalf of eliminating salaries for federal politicians. Before the convention, Franklin does nearly everything; he is an author, printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civic activist, abolitionist, statements and diplomat.
