To say that the man that wrote the Delcaration of Independence had no influence on the signers of the Constitution is beyond naive.

Then you could show that in the record.

Where are the letters going back and forth that demonstrate this? Jefferson was in France. It would have been very difficult for him to have any input to the give and take debates of the Constitutional Convention.

Now, you obviously don't find your position very worthy or compelling, or you'd put in the type of research that I have.

...and that is where Madison comes in. Madison, the "father of the constitution," provided Jefferson's voice at the convention as he related many of Jefferson's positions in his own. In addition, constitutional delegates Clymer, Franklin, Gerry, Robert Morris, Read, Sherman, Wilson, and Wythe had all signed the Declaration of Independence.
