# For every $n$, there exists a polynomial of degree $n$ with Galois Group $S_n$ [duplicate]

I'm trying to prove that one can always construct an nth degree polynomial with Galois Group $S_n.$ I've proven that one can always construct an nth degree polynomial with Galois Group Sn over the field $F_0(s_1,...,s_n)$ where $s_1,...,s_n$ are the elementary symmetric polynomials. I've also seen conditions which a polynomial must have to have Galois Group $S_n,$ but this doesn't prove existence. Does anyone have a proof that there is at least one $n^{th}$ degree polynomial with Galois Group $S_n?$

Thanks

EDIT: I am considering only polynomials over Q (rationals), not other fields in general.

Hilbert showed that all symmetric and alternating groups can be realized as Galois groups of polynomials with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$.
