Jenna, Sometimes the term Founders is used to refer to the framers, those who actually attended the constitutional convention. Founders can also be broader term though referring to all of the leaders of the revolution and those who attended the state conventions which ratified the constitution and the first congress which wrote the Bill of Rights. In its brodest sense it can mean every citizan of the United States who supported independence from Britain or stayed in the country after the Revolutionary War. Michael Montagne The Founding Fathers and the Framers are men who contributed in different ways to make our country work in a pleasing manner. The Founding Fathers are those men such as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who made significant contributions to the Constitution. These men worked to develop independence for our country. The Framers on the other hand were considered more as the men who helped construct or craft the Constitution. Regardless of their titles, these men achieved a lot and have a huge impact on how our country operates today.
The Founding Fathers are collectively known as the people who signed the Declaration, the Constitution, or were influential in the government creation.
The Founders are those who signed the Declaration, like John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, et cetera.
The Framers are those who signed the Constitution, like Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, et cetera.
The Founders are associated with the Declaration of Independence, our founding document. The Framers are associated with the Constitution which is our governing document.
Generally, the Founding Fathers did not think that political parties were a good thing. One of their many worries was that people would prioritize what was best for their party, over what was best for the country.

So far as I've studied, both groups were Christians (with a few exceptions among the founders). The Founders were influenced by the scientific Enlightenment and would not have accounted so much to direct intervention of God or Satan in their daily lives.
i am pretty sure that when the founding fathers were around we had a government that would talk more and work togeher bettter than now!
The founding fathers were educated between the years 1776 to 1787. They had a firm view aboutÊthe focus on education.Ê
They invented federalism. Michael Montagne
it happened between a fight with hamilton and Jefferson the founding fathers were not expecting it but it happened
checks and balances.
The founding fathers separated the power to make, enforce, and interpret laws between different branches of government in order to prevent government becoming tyrannical.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a government that would exist solely for their furtherance of the rights of the citizens. They probably wouldn't have liked the strong arm of the government our country has now. The NSA scandal would have been appalling to them, and may have elicited another revolution. As many of the Founding Fathers favored an isolationist stance, our current involvement in Middle Eastern affairs would not have been welcomed.
Founding is an intentional and deliberate act which requires prior knowledge, organization, and promotion, where as originating is the start that gave the founder the prior knowledge.
