James Madison
*** He, along with Alexander Hamilton, was one of the chief writers of the report that would call for the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, after the failed Annapolis Convention of 1786. *** He wrote 30 of the 85 Federalist Papers (Alexander Hamilton wrote 50, John Jay wrote 5), including Nos. 10 and 51, regarded as two of the most important documents in American history. *** He wrote the Bill of Rights. *** His meticulous notes from the Constitutional Convention tell us what went on and what was discussed; he was one of the few delegates who attended the convention nearly every day.
The delegates at the Annapolis Convention - namely Alexander Hamilton, who wrote the report calling for the Constitutional Convention. James Madison supporters, however, might beg to differ, but either way it was Hamilton and Madison who pushed for the convention.
