Freemasons & the Constitution

Thirteen of the 39 signers of the U.S. Constitution shared something in common: they were Freemasons. But did Freemasonry really play an influential role in the founding of the United States? Professor Kevin Butterfield attempts to separate myth from reality.

Very astute analysis of Masonic influence during this critical period of our history.

He’s just giving the presentable aspect that the masses will accept. The origins are never covered. This is the makeup made for a face that would turn people away if they knew the truth.

I found this to be quite vague, unfortunately.

Thank you for this brilliant comparison between masonic symbolism and certain symbols of the enlightenment era. It is interesting to see the connections between ideas, concepts and ethic in the "Constitutions of the Free-masons" (1723) and the "Constitutions of the United States" (1787).

I pity this man and all like him. If he seems nervous there's a reason. That big fireplace will one day swallow him up.

And restitution for their unjust enrichment 😂

Sounds to me like Freemasonry was the masculine counterpart of the … playful, feminine affairs of the 1600s 😊

He’s good looking, but so wrong about Freemasons on so many levels.
