Of the 55 delegates who attended the Convention, only 39 signed it. Washington, as Chairman of the Convention, signed the document first. Three delegates said they would not sign the document, even though they agreed with the need for a strong government, and the rest of the delegates had returned home by the date of the formal signing.
