Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson

What was Alexander Hamilton's education?
It was brutal. He was born illegitimately, and his mother's former husband seized every (every) opportunity to get revenge, so he could never feign legitimacy. His actual father left the West Indies (Nevis) when Alexander was around ten or so, and his mother died when he was fourteen, leaving he and his brother James to fend for themselves. Those who tried to take care of them ended up either dying or deserting them, and Alexander ended up as a clerk for a shipping company, where his intellect was quickly realized. At seventeen a hurricane struck St. Croix, where was he was then living, and he wrote about it in a letter to his father, which was found by several influential people. They raised money to send him to New York to attend college. His childhood left him with a deep hatred of anarchy and despotism, a hatred of slavery, and a large streak of pessimism, a dark filter if you will, that would influence everything he ever did.
Alexander Hamilton was raised in the West Indies and went to North America for his education. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Did George Washington wrote the constitution?
George Washington played an extremely important role in the framing of the US Constitution, and he probably made some important suggestions for it to others during the recesses of the Constitutional Convention (May to September, 1787). But Washington was the President of the Convention, and he believed it was his job to remain impartial, not favoring any one side in the many arguments that arose during the Convention. Although he did not write the Constitution, he signed it to make it official. Moreover, when the framers were deciding just what the qualifications and powers of the President of the US should be, they seem to have patterned the office after the first person to hold it - George Washington. In fact, neither he nor Benjamin Franklin took direct part in the debates over the elements of the Constitution, but evidence strongly suggests that both men worked very hard behind the scenes to calm the furious tempers which erupted during the summer months of 1787 in Philadelphia, PA. Many of the ideas making up the Constitution were provided by James Madison, the 4th President of the US, and Gouveneur (his actual first name!) Morris of Pennsylvania is credited with providing most of the legal language we find in the document.
