He was a leading author, political theorist, politician, printer, scientist, inventor, civic activist, and diplomat.

As a political writer and activist he, more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation, and as a diplomat during the American Revolution, he secured the French alliance that helped to make independence possible.
