55 delegates drafted the United States Constitution, representing 12 of the 13 Colonies. Rhode Island did not send any delegates.
New Hampshire sent 2 delegates.
New York and Connecticut sent 3 delegates.
Massachusetts, South Carolina and Georgia sent 4 delegates.
Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and Delaware sent 5.
Virginia sent 7 delegates, and Pennsylvania sent 8.
Notable delegates were Alexander Hamilton, Rufus King, Robert Yates, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and George Washington.
The Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia from May 25th, to September 17th, 1787. The final version was signed by 39 of the delegates.
Technically, the question isn't quite that simple, as each of the Amendments are also part of the U.S. Constitution, adding about 15 congressional groups to the "drafters" as well.
Additional: There are 39 official delegate's signatures on the document, however there actually are forty signatures. The signature of William Jackson, the Secretary of the Constitutional Convention, also appears on the document. Acting in that capacity, what role the Secretary of the convention may have played in the draft is unclear.
