John Dickinson war eine außergewöhnlich einflussreiche politische Figur in der Gründungszeit der Vereinigten Staaten. Sein unerschütterlicher Widerstand gegen die Unabhängigkeit von Großbritannien mag seine Bekanntheit im Vergleich zu anderen Gründervätern überschattet haben, doch seine Beiträge können nicht übersehen werden. Dickinson spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Gestaltung früher amerikanischer politischer Dokumente, darunter die Ausarbeitung der Resolutionen des Stamp Act Congress und die Verfassung der Essays „Briefe eines Farmers aus Pennsylvania“, die die britische Politik kritisch untersuchten. Während ihn sein Streben nach einer Aussöhnung mit Großbritannien dazu veranlasste, die Unabhängigkeitserklärung nicht zu unterzeichnen, unterstreicht seine spätere Beteiligung am Verfassungskonvent und seine Fürsprache für die neue Verfassung sein anhaltendes Engagement für den aufstrebenden Nationalstaat.
