One. John Rutledge, who served as Chief Justice less than six months (July 1795 - December 1795) before the Senate rejected his confirmation, is the only Chief Justice to have signed the Constitution. Four Associate Justices also signed: John Blair, Pierce Butler, William Paterson, and James Wilson. John Rutledge had also been appointed Associate Justice of the first Supreme Court, but never actively participated.

Interestingly, John Rutledge's brother, Edward Rutledge, was a signatory to the Declaration of Independence (but not the Constitution). Two future Supreme Court justices also signed the document: James Wilson and Samuel Chase.

The only Supreme Court justice to sign both documents was James Wilson.
