This is my understanding. I could be wrong, or the source from which I derived this understanding might have been wrong.
The founders relied on Emmerich de Vattel's text for the mesning (sic).
That the founders who wrote the amendments relied on Vattel's text is implied, but not documented anywhere explicitly. Implied because they all were known to have a copy, and I think I read somewhere that there is written evidence that they made reference to his writings, although not explicit his writings on the issue of Natural Born.
