He transformed the school from a small college that trained clergymen, into a more secular, academically rigorous institution designed to shape the leaders of a country. The very year this letter was signed, Aaron Burr entered Princeton under Witherspoon’s tutelage, as did the young James Madison, who would become the “Father of the Constitution.” Witherspoon later became a member of the emergent American congress, and would assert “that a plan of union should be laid down for all the colonies” in opposition of British policy. His contribution to the American Revolution was major, yet of all the Signers of the Declaration, his manuscripts and documents are among the rarest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Witherspoon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32453026775114,"sku":"","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0226\/6395\/4506\/products\/ws3.jpg?v=1615495028"},{"product_id":"il-pendolo-di-foucault","title":"Il pendolo di Foucault","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilan: Bompiani, 1988\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst edition.
