The terms "Founding Fathers" or "Founders" are often used to collectively describe the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

To refer only to the signers of the Declaration of Independence, the term "Continental Congress" is generally used. "Constitutional Convention delegates" would describe only the people who assembled to draft the Constitution.

They're typically referred to as the founding fathers. This term can be misleading at times due to the fact that many of the people present at the constitutional convention were also around for the Articles of Confederation and that the Constitution did not actually start the US.
