Alexander Hamilton came to the United States illegally and drafted the Constitution:

Wow. I'm sure that would be news to Gouvenor Morris...the man who actually did draft the document. Hamilton made one speech at the convention...a wildly unsuccessful one...that called for the abolition of the states, a unicameral legislature and a powerful executive. He then went back to New York and missed msot of the rest of the convention.

AND...he never even had a vote on the convention’s adoption of the docuemnt or any issue germame to the production of the document because each colony had one vote each and only if that colony had a quorum present...which New York never did.
