 * Founding Fathers and Faith - IMPORTANT**

The Founding Fathers believed faith in God should guide them. **Benjamin Franklin** (__vocabulary__) was the Founding Father who made the statement at the Constitutional Convention to help the delegates recognize that God's guidance would be best in forming their new government. Franklin is often viewed as the Peacemaker of the Constitution Convention since he was able to keep the peace. Franklin suggested prayer and God's guidance saying (in this quote) that a great nation can't be built without God's guidance. Our Founding Fathers held faith as an important value and saw prayer as important in both good and rough times.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN STUDY NOTES: The Founding Fathers observed the Ten Commandments and had trust in the Bible. In addition, they thought that everyone was equal in the eyes of God.
