∙ 12y agoThree Delgates Refused to sign the US Constitution. Only thirty-nine people signed the finished product of the Constitutional Convention. In all, seventy-four people were selected to attend the Convention, but only fifty-five actually attended. Some of these left before the Convention was complete, some for personal reasons, some to protest the Constitution. Others remained at the Convention until the end, but then refused to sign. The following is a list of those delegates who attended the Convention but who did not sign the Constitution, and the reason they did not sign:
* Connecticut - Oliver Ellsworth (left early)
* Georgia - William Houstoun (left early), William Pierce (left early)
* Maryland - Luther Martin (left in protest), John Mercer (left in protest)
* Massachusetts - Elbridge Gerry (refused to sign), Caleb Strong (left early)
* New Jersey - William Houston (left early)
* New York - John Lansing (left in protest), Robert Yates (left in protest)
* North Carolina - William Davie (left early), Alexander Martin (left early)
* Rhode Island - sent no delegates
* Virginia - George Mason (refused to sign), James McClurg (left early), Edmund Randolph (refused to sign), George Wythe (left early)
The following are those who refused to attend or were unable to attend:
* Connecticut - Erastus Wolcott
* Georgia - Nathaniel Pendleton, George Walton
* Maryland - Charles Caroll, Gabriel Duvall, Robert Hanson Harrison, Thomas Sire Lee, Thomas Stone
* Massachusetts - Francis Dana
* New Hampshire - John Pickering, Benjamin West
* New Jersey - Abraham Clark, John Neilson
* North Carolina - Richard Caswell, Willie Jones
* South Carolina - Henry Laurens
* Virginia - Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Nelson
It should be noted that John Dickinson is officially listed as a "signer," but he did not actually sign the Constitution. Dickinson fell ill during the convention and was unable to attend on the day of signing. He authorized George Read to sign for him by proxy.

They qualify as a founding father for The United States. They were the first culture to install democracy into their culture after winner battles Salamis and Marathon. Our country used their method of democracy to establish government. Another example of America's founding fahers were the slaves. Slaves were the main income for agriculture. Agriculture was the fundamental building to America's Industrial Revolution. Look into the history books of our country. The founding fathers are in the pages of books.
