~Leave us not forget all the ideas borrowed from the Iroquois Confederation. I am shocked and appalled that the librarian did. That's okay, she failed to mention the primary author, Gouverneur Morris, too, and likewise neglected the significant portions that were inspired by Montesquieu or taken from British Law.

Hamilton, Madison and John Jay were the Federalists that helped inspire the Constitution. They needed a strong, efficient central government but allowed states to make some choices.
Sorry but Jefferson was not involved in the US Constitution but Jefferson and friends did push for a Bill of Rights and threatened to block the Constitution if one was not written.

Thomas Jefferson re-purposed the Virginia Constitution.
Further, he was inspired by the French philosopher Roseau.
