Answer 1

Here is an example:
James Madison
James Madison was influential for the following reasons:
He helped make important changes to the constitution.
He thought that having a strong central government was important for making the United States a strong country.
He understood that compromise was important.
“With the states retaining considerable power, the central government, he believed, had insufficient power to regulate commerce.” I found this quote in “A More Perfect Union: The Creation of the U.S. Constitution” in lesson 2.4.
