Why didn't Thomas Jefferson sign the Declaration of Independence?

Jefferson rendered no inconsiderable service to the cause of Constitutional Government, for it was partly through his insistence that the Bill of Rights, consisting of the first ten amendments, was adopted. He was also still serving as Minister to France until a year after the Constitution was adopted in 1787. Jefferson didn't want anything to do with the Constitution even though his best friend was writing it.
