Answer:
The dawn of the twenty-first century has turned out to be a flush time for the founding fathers. Pundits celebrated their appearance on the best-seller lists, cited them as a tonic for contemporary disillusionment with politics, and got to work writing biographies themselves.

Ellis introduced his ensemble of paired founder studies with a “polite” but direct attack on social historians who vaulted “marginal or peripheral figures, whose lives are more typical” over.
