Hamilton.

From Dr. William Samuel Johnson’s diary entry on June 18, 1787

“Only twice during the year did Dr. William Samuel Johnson (CT) indicate in his diary what had occurred in the Congress or the Convention. Today he followed the routine notation ‘In Convention’ with one word, ‘Hamilton.’” (source)

This was the date of Hamilton’s six-hour speech at the Constitutional Convention, so I think this one word pretty much sums up the day’s events.
