By Alexander Hamilton
xFourth President of the United States, James Madison (1751-1836) became known as the 'father' of the Constitution because of his influence in planning it and in helping to draw up the Bill of Rights. Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) was secretary and aide-de-camp to George Washington. He became a Member of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. John Jay (1745-1829) wrote The Address to the People of Great Britain, stating the case of the early settlers, which won him great acclaim and he also helped to ensure the approval of the Declaration of Independence in New York.
