How many founding fathers signed the Constitution?

Answer 1

Of the forty-two delegates who attended most of the meetings, thirty-nine actually signed the Constitution. Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to sign due in part to the lack of a Bill of Rights.

Answer 2

Many people would have different definitions of what determined the title of Founding Father. When I did extensive research I came up with seven key Founding Fathers that were instrumental in establishing the United States and were leaders in the early years of the republic. Recently I was gratified to find to credible sources that confirm these seven. The Franklin Mint just came out with a commemorative set of coins on the Founding Fathers...the same seven. Richard B. Morris has written many fine books on the early U.S years. One of them is titled: Seven Who Shaped Our Destiny : The Founding Fathers As Revolutionaries. The seven are: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. My research shows proof that George Washington was #1and Alexander Hamilton was #2.
