How did Thomas Jefferson affect the constitution?

In: US Constitution, Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence [Edit categories]

Answer:

Thomas Jefferso really didn't directly affect the Constitution. He was in France when the constitutional convention was convened (called by his arch ememy Alexander Hamilton). Madison was the prime author of the Constitution with a little help from Monroe, Hamilton and several others. In fact Jefferson vacillated as to whether to support the Constitution and thought of it as a sort of temporary document.
