Constitutionalists
The federalists are referred to as the supporters of the proposed Constitution.
A "referendum" is held in Ireland when a proposed change to the constitution is being put to the Irish people.
The only difference is that constitution is the paramount law directly approved by the people while law are merely based on constitution and they are proposed by the congress.
They were called Chartists.
When the Constitution was first suggested, people who sided with it were called Federalists. People who did not were called Antifederalists. Antifederalists wanted a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution.
The process for amending the Virginia Constitution involves two main steps: proposal and ratification. An amendment can be proposed either by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Virginia General Assembly or by a constitutional convention called by the General Assembly. Once proposed, the amendment must then be ratified by a majority of voters in a statewide referendum. This ensures that any changes to the constitution reflect the will of the people.
In the late 1700s, many people felt the proposed Constitution of the United States did not go far enough in protecting the fundamental principles of individual rights, putting ratification of the Constitution in danger. The first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill Of Rights, were proposed as a means of obtaining the votes necessary to ratify the Constitution.

People who did not support the Constitution during its ratification period were known as Anti-Federalists. They opposed the strong central government proposed by the Constitution, fearing it would undermine states' rights and individual liberties. Prominent Anti-Federalists included figures like Patrick Henry and George Mason, who advocated for a Bill of Rights to protect citizens' freedoms.
It wasn't one person, but rather several people who proposed the ideas. John Hancock, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Hamilton inspired the idea of the constitution. They believed that every man had an equal opportunity.
