Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) was an American polymath and a central figure in the founding of the United States. He worked as a printer, editor and author, becoming known for Poor Richard's Almanack and for popular sayings that entered American culture. As a cultural entrepreneur, he helped establish Philadelphia’s first public library and the University of Pennsylvania. In science, Franklin distinguished himself with studies of electricity and meteorology: he identified fundamental concepts about electric charge, popularized the idea of conservation of charge, and is associated with the development of the lightning rod and bifocal lenses. He also contributed to meteorology by interpreting storm motion and promoting the use of synoptic charts. In politics and diplomacy he was a leader in the pre‑revolutionary period, proposed plans for colonial union and played a decisive role as ambassador in major European capitals, especially in France, where he secured crucial support for American independence. A pragmatic reformer, he intervened in public institutions—such as the postal system and hospitals—and left a lasting legacy in American education, science and civic life.
