yes, and worked hard to add the ten amendment's. Actually the answer should be NO! The Constitution was only signed by members of the Constitutional Convention, and three of them didn't sign it. Patrick Henry was not only NOT a member of the convention, he was opposed to it. He said of the convention,"I Smell a Rat!" and then worked to try to stop Virginia from ratifying the document.

George Mason and Patrick Henry are probably the two most prominent Founding Fathers who refused to sign the constitution. Mason refused to sign because at the time, the constitution lacked a Bill of Rights.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams are two founding fathers who were overseas working as diplomats at the time of the Constitutional Conventions, so they did not sign it. Also, Samuel Adams (another generally important Adams), Patrick Henry ("Give me liberty or give me death"), and Thomas Paine (who wrote "Common Sense") didn't sign it because they had problems with the Constitution as it was when it was being signed.
