jefferson had nearly zero involvement in the constitution,he was ambassador to france during its creation,he would be more an autority on the declaration of independance.
For some reason the Library of Congress disagrees with you
ESTABLISHING A FEDERAL REPUBLIC
Although Thomas Jefferson was in France serving as United States minister when the Federal Constitution was written in 1787, he was able to influence the development of the federal government through his correspondence. Later his actions as the first secretary of state, vice president, leader of the first political opposition party, and third president of the United States were crucial in shaping the look of the nation's capital and defining the powers of the Constitution and the nature of the emerging republic.
MY point however had to do with the claim made by the Reverend Willson that Jefferson was unsuitable for the Presidency because he - Thomas Jefferson - was not a Christian - which you would have read if you had bothered to click thru and read the sermon.
