From the Seven Years’ War against the French (1756-1763) and the War of Independence against the British (1775-1783), to the definition of American protectionism, the drafting of the Constitution for the creation of federal government bodies, he was at the heart of the values and identity of the country, which still benefits from his legacy today.
