Just his being there was enough. Madison and others write that he didn't say a word during the whole process. He chaired the convention and his presence was enough to keep it going. In letters that I have read he didn't even smile ( but there are reports he wasn't the type to smile or joke with people naturally) and the delegates respected him. He is described as austere and aloof by many historians. Since he was a federalist I think he must have put some pressure/support to the idea of a federal government .
