Alexander Hamilton was the only New York delegate to stay the entire length of the convention. The other 2 delegates, John Lansing and Robert Yates, were anti-Federalists from the get go and chosen to nullify any vote that Alexander Hamilton put out (as he was an ardent Federalist). They ended up leaving, and that left Hamilton as the only New York delegate. Since he was the only delegate from his state, he did not get a vote because there had to be 2. However, he still had a voice and he still signed the Constitution, and later wrote a good chunk of the 85 essays that make up the Federalist Papers.
