Answer 1

1: As a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, Alexander Hamilton found some of his ideas about how to structure a federal government soundly rejected. Yet he liked the resulting Constitution enough to become chief advocate for its approval by the states.

2: Contribution: Having been elected unanimously as the president of the Constitutional Convention, Washington's presence provided a sense of focus and direction. While he originally did not want to be involved with the creation of the Constitution, Washington certainly had a vision for a stronger union.

3: Federalism, mode of political organization that unites separate states or other polities within an overarching political system in a way that allows each to maintain its own integrity.

4: Checks and balances, principle of government under which separate branches are empowered to prevent actions by other branches and are induced to share power. ... Checks and balances are applied primarily in constitutional governments.

hope this helps :)
