Although Newton based his statement of the law of inertia (first law of motion) on a description by Galileo the 1st recorded description was by the Chinese philosopher Mo Tzu, in the 3rd century BC and in the 11th century by the Arabian scientists Alhazen and Avicenna. It was the Italian Galileo.

The tendency of an object to stay at rest or in constant motion unless a force acts upon it?

It's the mass of the object! An object with large mass are more viscous to set in motion. This effect, the viscousity of materia in universe may feel logical. But it's actually a mysterious phenomenon that we yet can't really describe!

Does Newton'a first law of motion have to be capitalized?

Yes, "Newton's First Law of Motion" should be capitalized when referring to the specific scientific principle, as it is a proper noun. However, if you are using the term in a more general context, such as "Newton's laws of motion," it may not require capitalization. Always capitalize "Newton" as it is part of the name of the scientist.
