Joseph Proust.
There are several names: on of which is Proust's law.
The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.
Weber's Law"Ernst Weber noted that for people to really perceive a difference, the stimuli must differ by a constant "proportion" not a constant "amount."
The law of constant proportions, also called Proust's law, states that the elements in a compound are all present in a fixed proportion by weight, regardless of how the compound is prepared.
Dalton's law of constant proportion states that any sample of a chemical compound will have its constituent elements appearing in the same proportion by mass. Thus 8/9 of the mass of any sample of water will be oxygen and the remaining 1/9 will be hydrogen.

This was an idea of John Dalton.

Joseph Louis Proust (1754-1826), In 1799 Proust stated that "Compounds always contain the same elements in a constant proportion by mass." This statement is now called law of definite composition or the law of constant proportion.

Dalton's law of constant proportion states that any sample of a chemical compound will have its constituent elements appearing in the same proportion by mass. Thus 8/9 of the mass of any sample of water will be oxygen and the remaining 1/9 will be hydrogen.
A scientist named proust discovered it in 1779 A.D.
It means that in any pure compound, the proportion of constituent elements (by mass) is a constant. This allows their chemical formulae to be determined.
