Radically democratic ideas, when theyāre coming not from a kooky duke imagining democracy emerging at some point in the future, but from ordinary people taking action in the immediate present, can be unsettlingānot just to Adams and Gopnik but to me, too. And yet, like it or not, thatās how we got the Declaration of Independence on July Fourth. A mass movement, on the street, overthrew the legitimately elected government of Pennsylvania and put in a new government that not only reversed the mighty provinceās position against independence but also undid the āancientā tie between rights and property for the first time since that tie was established. Anti-Paine revolutionaries like Adams said they were fighting the British to defend the ancient tie against British violations; Paine-friendlier revolutionaries like Jefferson said so too. But when Paine and the Pennsylvania radicals untied the tie, they were bringing the old, long-frustrated Leveller demand to fruition and casting the revolution against Britain as a revolution against privilege in America.

At the start of our nationās founding, at its very epicenter in Philadelphia, were a group of people whose rejection of hierarchy and embrace of democracy, exemplified a new and radical way of living together. So when our nationās founders gathered to create our Constitution, they depended heavily upon the Constitution written by Quakers for the state of Pennsylvania.

The Bodies in Benjamin Franklin's Basement: A Historical Mystery
In 1998, workers renovating a house at 36 Craven Street in Benjamin Franklin's former London residence made a shocking discovery: more than 1,200 pieces of human bone hidden beneath the basement floor. The remains belonged to at least 15 individuals, including several children, sparking rumors that one of America's most famous Founding Fathers had been involved in sinister activities.
The truth, however, appears far less sinister. Historians believe the bones were connected to an anatomy school operated by Franklin's friend and lodger, William Hewson. During the 18th century, medical students often relied on bodies obtained through grave robbing because legal cadavers were scarce. Evidence found with the remains, including surgical cut marks, strongly suggests the skeletons were used for anatomical study rather than the victims of a crime.
Although Benjamin Franklin lived in the house between 1757 and 1775, there is no evidence that he participated in any illegal dissections. Nevertheless, the discovery remains one of the most fascinating and eerie historical mysteries associated with the renowned scientist, diplomat, and statesman, adding an unexpected chapter to the story of one of history's most celebrated figures.
Gordon Wood understood the genius of our founding better than the Founders themselves. Rest in Peace, sir.
The Radicalism of the American Revolution won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993, and it is the book that fixed his reputation outside the academy. Its claim was deceptively simple and, to many readers, counterintuitive. The Revolution, Wood declared, was āthe most radical and far-reaching event in American history.ā More transforming, in its way, than anything that came after, because everything that came after was always in its shadow. It was radical not because it spilled blood in the streets or redistributed estatesāit did neither on the scale of the French Revolutionābut because it dissolved and replaced old ways of thinking about society.
