 They have. That's a Paine-ite idea. By 1787, however, which is the year the Constitutional Convention meets, Paine, I think, is gone. I think Paine has gone, I want to say, to England by 1787, certainly to Europe, and certainly is not working at that national level of politics at that particular time. He does have a role in Pennsylvania's state constitution in 1780, and scholars debate whether he had a role in the Declaration of Independence or not.
