haha, the bill of rights...nice one.
From www.fi.edu/franklin/statsman/statsman.html: Ben stands alone as the only person to have signed all four of the documents which helped to create the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776); the Treaty of Alliance, Amity, and Commerce with France (1778); the Treaty of Peace between England, France, and the United States (1782); and the Constitution (1787). He actually helped to write parts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. No other individual was more involved in the birth of our nation.
Hope this helps!
He's also on the $100 bill. He also published the first newspaper in the United States in Pennsylvania.
Some good quotes:
A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
All would live long, but none would be old.
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Anger is never without Reason, but seldom with a good One.
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Drive thy business or it will drive thee.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Apparently, you can't name 4 either, but you can go on a lengthy diatribe against the military. I don't believe we have bombed 4 countries in the last 2 weeks, although it's reasonable to believe that we have used explosive munitions in either Afghanistan or Iraq. Somehow I don't see how you can equate protecting our interests to imperialism.

he's on the 100 dollar bill, but I dont think that counts. you probably need the more important ones, constitution, declaration of independance, bill of rights etc...

he was also on a half dollar and one of my favorite quotes is
" those who are willing to give up a little freedom for safety deserve neither freedom nor safety. "
