Why do some groups use insider methods while other groups use outsider methods?
some groups do not want insider status as they may oppose govt all together or feel they will have to compromise their beliefs e.g ALF. however some groups are unable to gain insider groups this could be because of the methods they practice or their beliefs. governments generally do not like to be associated with controversial groups for instance groups associated with euthanasia. other groups may be unable to gain insider groups because their beliefs do not coincide with the beliefs of the government, this means that a groups status may change depending on simply who is government. so in answer to your question some groups choose outsider methods simply because of their beliefs and others may have to use outsider methods such as consulting opposition parties as they are unable to become recognised as legitimate by the government.
Who was a strong believer in strict construction weak government and anti-militarism who was forced to modify some of his principles in office?
Thomas Jefferson
What philosopher influenced the Framers' vision of a federal system?
The name that comes to mind is john Locke. Jefferson, Madison and other founding fathers pointed to him most of all. I would point out that it was Rousseau who penned what some would consider the classic treatise on contract theory, liberal republicanism and defining the sovereign separate from the state. And surely Leviathon, a book by Thomas Hobbes, talking about the necessity of representative government and the equality of all men was certainly in Jefferson's library. But the easy answer is John Locke but certainly not the all inclusive answer.
