Others are sometimes included, but it's common to use Founding Fathers for the big 7 who were instrumental in government and not just the war or the mythology of the Revolution - George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.
Franklin was the most based, being a nearly-modern human being in his thinking and attitudes; everyone else competes for the lower ranks, except Madison and Jefferson, who are pieces of shit.
