Is it safe to say that the Founding Fathers, such as James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson were directly influenced by these classical philosophers, like Polybius? The answer is no. The Founding Fathers were not directly influenced by classical philosophers. Instead, they were more directly influenced by the modern interpretations of the classics, such as John Locke and Baron de Montesquieu. I believe through the research; it will be easy to find the Framer’s references to Locke and Montesquieu. However, these sources will have a striking resemblance to that of the classics.
