While John Dickinson's name is validly on the Constitution, he did not personally sign it. He authorized fellow delegate George Read to sign his name by proxy, as he was too ill to be there.

Interestingly, earlier in history, John had refused to sign the Declaration of Independence because he objected to violence in solving the challenges they faced.
