3!. Franklin Delano Roosevelt--led the country during its second darkest hour (Great Depression & World War II)
4!. Thomas Jefferson--doubled the size of the country and established the right of freedom of the seas (Barbary Wars)
5!. Theodore Roosevelt--supported all kinds of Progressive causes, won Nobel Peace Prize, built Panama Canal
6!. James Madison--father of the Constitution & Bill of Rights, he defended American independence in the War of 1812 and brought about Era of Good Feeling!.
7!. Andrew Jackson--increased popular participation in politics

The above ranking is mine!. Wikipedia differs a bit and has some comments about different historians!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

FDR, Lincoln, Washington, Wilson (for wwi, League),
Lyndon Johnson (for creating the Great Society, similar to FDR's new deal); and JFK just because he has shown great promise!. Hard to find a 7th, as there have only been 43!.!.!.but maybe Theodore Roosevelt, for creating anti-trust legislation to control corporations!.

(I think everyone else's list will be very similar, except they might switch Regan for Johnson; who I think was a very under-rated president!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
