Jefferson, especially, feels like a Declaration-era,<br>pre-Constitution visionary, while Hamilton, Jay, Madison, and<br>Washington are central figures starting at the Convention.<br>(Washington's military leadership is distinct from his later role as<br>statesman.). Adams' (and Franklin) are probably more the former than<br>the latter, as you note -- even if their Convention-era roles are<br>larger than Jefferson's. I like that take.

I think of Jefferson as the Revolution's mind: he was the thinker, schooled in the enlightened thinking of the day (Locke, Adam Smith, etc.) and with the ability to synthesize this into a vision of a new order. Franklin was its soul, creating the vision of an "America", and even inventing the term "American". And finally, John Adams was the heart of the revolution, bringing to it all of his passion and fervor for the ideals he believed in.
