Who is benjamin franklin? what did he do? and why is he on the 100 dollar bill?

Benjamin Franklin is one of the founding fathers of America. He was an unofficial representative of America in the parliament until he was framed for the Boston tea party. Afterwards he became one of the most devoted patriots. He owned a newspaper called the Pennsylvania gazette in which he kept the public informed and enthusiastic about freedom. He was also an inventor. His electric rod saved many houses from becoming victims of lightning fires. He is on the 100th dollar bill because he was admired and followed. And why not have a founding father on the 100 dollar bill?

Franklin was one of the - if not the - most important founding father in our nation. His work in forging the Declaration of Independence is considered pivotal in the forming of the nation, so it is well-fitting that his likeness be on this important bill.
