Most of the Founding Fathers were pretty young. Doesn’t get much harder than building a new country from scratch.

Some were older, like Thomas Jefferson who was 33, John Hancock who was 39, or Benjamin Franklin who was 70. Others were shockingly young — even teenagers. James Monroe, for example, was 18 and Alexander Hamilton was 21. Madison was 25.
