I am the cousin of Samuel Adams and a merchant businessman.


I believed in the ratification of the Constitution so much that I wrote 51 essays encouraging states to ratify the Constitution.


I spied on British Soldiers and reported on their movements.


I am an English American writer who wrote and distributed the pamphlet Common Sense to encourage colonists to fight for independence.


I didn't like the reduction of state's rights in the new Constitution so I helped encourage the creation of the Bill of Rights.


I played a key role in introducing the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention.
