Their influences rose up and down over time. For instance, in the 1770s the most important men were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in the Continental Congress (and Washington in the Army). The 1790s roll around and Jefferson and Adams, particularly Adams, take a backseat in their influences to George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. But in 1796 John Adams is back as the most influential and Alexander Hamilton's political influence is waning. It would really depend on which decade you looked at, because in certain decades certain Founders were more important then.

Overall, the most "dominant" founding father would most likely be Alexander Hamilton, who had a major knack for showing up at important events in history. His influences in the 1780s and 1790s were huge.
