Who is considered the "Father of the Constitution" in the United States?

  1. George Washington.

  2. Thomas Jefferson.

  3. James Madison.

  4. Benjamin Franklin.

The correct answer is: James Madison.

James Madison is considered the "Father of the Constitution" in the United States because he was the principal author of the document and played a key role in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. While George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were important figures in the early days of the United States, they were not directly involved in the writing of the Constitution. Benjamin Franklin was also present at the Constitutional Convention, but he did not have as significant of a role in its creation as James Madison did. Therefore, C is the most accurate answer.
