Founding Fathers are persons instrumental not only in the establishment (founding) of a political institution, but also in the origination of the idea of the institution. It is applied especially to those men involved with the creation and early development of the United States of America, such as the signers of its Declaration of Independence and the framers of its Constitution, in which case it refers to such individuals as George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. But it can be applied to other countries as well.
Some modern Americans regard the term "Founding Fathers" as inaccurate, believing it diminishes the role of women. For this reason, some use the term "Founders of the Republic" or simply "Founders."
Along with the United States, several countries recognize a group of men as their historic national founders. Canada has its Fathers of Confederation (see Canadian Confederation).
Founder supremacy is also common, the Founders have a society where violence among them is unheard of (In there history, only one Founder has ever killed another of their species).
The Founders are a liquid life form, their natural state is that of a gelatinous mass with no apparent sensory organs of any kind.
Founders are asexual, and have children through a sort of Mitosis, once every 50 years a Founder has 1 day where he (or she) is capable of producing offspring.
The Founders Bridge, carrying state route 2 across the Connecticut River, connects downtown Hartford with the "Mixmaster" interchange at I-84 and Route 2 in East Hartford.
The Authority was responsible for the planned Founders Bridge, along with the new Putnam and Bissell Bridges, and tolls on the Charter Oak and Bulkeley bridges.
As I-84 and I-91 were built in the area, the Founders Bridge was put to work as a direct connection from CT 2/I-84 westbound to I-91 southbound, and from I-91 northbound to CT 2/I-84 eastbound.
