Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin were members of the Committee of Five that prepared the Declaration of Independence. Hamilton, Madison, and Jay wrote The Federalist Papers, promoting the approval of the Constitution. Jay, Adams and Franklin dealt with the Treaty of Paris that would terminate the American Revolutionary War. Washington was Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and was President of the Constitutional Convention. Washington, Jay and Franklin are regarded as the Founding Fathers of U.S. Intelligence by the CIA.
