Best Answer

John Adams, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson were a few of the important Founding Fathers who weren't present at the Constitutional Convention. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were overseas, and Patrick Henry refused to attend because he "smelt a rat" and didn't trust the intentions of his fellow delegates.
