Answer:
Roger Sherman is widely regarded as the founding father of the United States of America because of his contributions to American democracy and lawmaking in general.
Remarkably, he is the only person to sign on the Constitution, Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Continental Association which are considered the four major documents of United States history.
His contributions to the drafting of the Constitution include:
- serving as a delegate to Philadelphia Convention in 1787 that later produced the Constitution
- proposing the Great Compromise
- signing the four most important documents in US history
