A late 19th Century portrait of William Penn (1644-1718) founded the Province of Pennsylvania, the British North American colony that became the state of Pennsylvania. Ahead of his time, Penn set forth the democratic principles that served as an inspiration for the United States Constitution. He also published a plan for a United States of Europe, "European Dyet, Parliament or Estates."
