William Penn
William Penn was born in England in 1644. He was the founder of the province of Pennsylvania, which was at first a British colony, but later became the great state we all know as Pennsylvania – which means in Latin, “Penn’s forest.” While there were many contributors to what would become the U.S. Constitution, his ideas about democracy provided a foundation for the document and for the direction of the new nation.
