Did the people that made the constitution sign it?

Answer 1

The main authors were James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay of the Federalist Papers, the committee to revise them was Madison, Hamilton, King, Johnson, and Gouverneur Morris. Those revisions became the Constitution. All the signers were at the Constitutional Convention and they discussed
the document. Then it went to the Continental Congress with the recommendation to send it to state conventions. There was quite a process.

Answer 2

Not sure what is meant by the "people who made the Constitution". Fifty Five delegates attended the Constitutional Convention in the summer and fall of 1787. Thirty Nine signed it. Two of the most significant Founding Fathers - John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were ambassadors in Europe at the time, and did not attend. Three very significant delegates refused to sign - Governor George Randolph of Virginia, George Mason of Virginia, and Eldridge Gerry of Massachusetts. The signing of the Constitution was nothing more than a recommendation from the signatories. It had to be ratified by the states before it could replace the Articles of Confederation as our nation's governing document. The ratification in key state's such as Virginia, New York and Massachusetts was very, very close - barely passing in these states. In Pennsylvania there was a large majority who wanted ratification, however they were a bit short of a quorum because opposing members knew they could not prevail in a vote, and they stayed away so that a quorum could not be assembled to ratify. The majority who wanted to ratify went to the homes of a few opposition members, forcibly dragged them to the state house, and held them in their chairs to create a quorum, while the majority voted "aye". However, in the end, it was ratified by all 13 states. A number of the thirty-nine signatories had signed with a gentleman's agreement that the Constitution would be amended with a Bill of Rights - thus the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments) were not included in the Constitution that was ratified by the states. These were approved by the first Congress as amendments to the ratified Constitution. The Bill of Rights, around which most of our current controversies swirl, was never approved (ratified) by as open and democratic process as the Constitution itself.
