The person who is often called the "Father of the Constitution" is James Madison. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options based on their historical roles.
- George Washington was the first President of the United States, but he is not specifically known for his role in creating the Constitution.
- Alexander Hamilton was an influential figure during the founding of the United States and played a role in shaping the Constitution, but he is not commonly referred to as the "Father of the Constitution."
- Ben Franklin was also an important figure during the founding of the United States and participated in the Constitutional Convention, but he is not typically given the title of "Father of the Constitution."
However, James Madison is widely recognized as the primary author of the United States Constitution and thus is often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution."
