Well, if you want to get technical, they were from Britain, and all were born as British subjects, because being born in a colony or country/island belonging to Britain effectively makes you a British subject. The real question is, since Britain was a large country, where. The majority of them - Adams, Jefferson, Hancock, Madison, Washington - from the colonies but not all. Thomas Paine and Robert Morris were from England. And Alexander Hamilton, first treasury secretary, was from the British West Indies. They were for the most part from Britain or Britain's many possessions, however, five Constitution signers were from Ireland or Scotland.
