Where and when did the constitution get signed?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson did not sign the Constitution, nor was he present at

the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Neither was he present when the

First Amendment and religious freedoms were debated in the first session of

Congress in 1789, as he was out of the country in France as a U.S. Minister.

Due to his not being present to hear all the comments of the Founding

Fathers regarding the First Amendment, Thomas Jefferson had to rely on

second-hand information to learn what had transpired in that first session

of Congress. This rendered his letter to the Danbury Baptists (which was

written 13 years after the First Amendment) ineligible to be

a "first-hand" reflection of the intent of the constitutional delegates.

Answer 2

Thomas Jefferson was in Paris during the Constitutional Convention was happening at Pennsylvania State House (it was not called Independence Hall at that time. That came later in history). He was looking at architecture there and when he came back he made changes to his home, Monticello, because he liked what he saw so much when he was over there.
