Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton wrote The Federalist which were written in favor of the Constitution. He wanted as many people as possible to agree with it and to help get the document approved for ratification. Hamilton was the first treasury secretary. He was very adamant about money and the government, and eventually went on to become President. Hamilton proposed that the Constitution should include Government paying off war bonds it issues and that the Government should establish a steady revenue stream by taxation of imported goods.
Constitution
The Constitution itself was based off of Natural Law. Natural Law is "the assertion that there is a natural order to the human world, that this order is good, and that people therefore ought to not violate it." The Constitution is essentially the master law of the land. According to the Constitution, we need a civil society. It protects the interest of the public good and rights of other citizens. The Constitution balances both sides of the Government in order to combine them happily.
Baron de Montesquieu Inspiration to the Constitution
Baron de Montesquieu thought of dividing Government powers into three branches, the "Separation of Powers". The Separation of Powers idea became part of the Constitutional basis.
