Description

Benjamin Franklin was a representative from Pennsylvania and a signatory on both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  Regarding the Constitution, Franklin said of those who did not sign, “There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them.”  Franklin did endorse the Constitution “because I expect no better, and because I am not sure, that it is not the best.”

This Benjamin Franklin mug is part of our US Constitution series profiling the 39 signatories of the US Constitution.  The U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington.  Six of these men also signed the Declaration of Independence: George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, George Read, Roger Sherman, and James Wilson.

The biographical History Mugs were created to teach and inspire individuals to learn about our diverse and interesting history.  The biographies were researched and written by history enthusiast, Robert Compton.  He colorized most of the historic photos and images used on the mugs, which were originally black and white or sepia-tone.  The images and biographies are imprinted on mugs at his studio in rural Vermont.
