None of the branches of government as they now exist were in place at the time the Constitution was signed. When it was "signed", if that means approved by the Constitutional Convention and sent to the states for ratification. Until the Constitution was actually ratified by the requisite number of states, they continued to operate under the prior Articles of Confederation. Congress was a single house body. There was no President and no federal judiciary.
