His first book got him arrested. When the jury refused to convict him, the judge put both him and the jury in prison. Later, the writings of this radical man became foundational for the Constitution of the United States. If George Washington is the “Father of our nation,” then William Penn is the “Grandfather.”
Penn’s non-conformist views and actions would brand him a radical even today. Yet this man, so often overlooked by contemporary culture, held an ideal of freedom in his heart that still beats in the heart of our nation 300 years later.
