Who wrote of constitution?

I assume you are asking about the U.S. Constitution, and who wrote it; lots of people wrote about the Constitution once it had been created and signed in 1787. The Constitution was created by a group of men, former British colonists, who are sometimes called the "Framers" because they came up with the ideas and then crafted (or framed) the Constitution; some sources also call them the "Founding Fathers," since they founded the original laws and doctrines used by Americans even today. The best-known of the founders included James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams and, John Hancock. Many historians believe that James Madison was the chief writer-- he provided the model for what became the American constitution. And Thomas Jefferson wrote the document called the Declaration of Independence.
