Edmund Randolph actually presented it, but Madison drafted it.
Constitutional monarchy vs Republic: the debate has been continuing in Australia for many years, and will probably continue for many more years. In an effort to settle the matter once and for all, a Constitutional Convention was held in Canberra in February 1998. During the two-week convention, a model for a republic was adopted, which was then presented to the public at a referendum on 6 November 1999. In the final count, the "no" votes led 54.87% to 45.13%. All six states voted against the proposal. Victoria held the narrowest margin of 50.16% to 49.84%.
The delegates include; Randolph who had presented the Virginia Plan, Rutledge and Wilson who had been the key in crafting the compromise on representation, Ellsworth who had led small states during the battle over per-state voting in the Senate, and Gorham who had chaired the Committee, where he called for compromise during the bitter debate over representation.
The enlightenment concept that was represented by John Locke was that government should have limited powers. He did believe that the government should protect natural rights.

This was not an issue presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia. It was an issue that came about later and was resolved with the 3/5 compromise. Each slave was counted as 3/5 a person for census/taxation purposes. Good Luck!
