According to the National Archives, (http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/constitution-day/signers.html), John Hancock did not sign the Constitution.
JOhn Hancock did NOT sign the Constitution. You're confusing the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence....that's the one where John Hancock had the biggest signature "so King George could read it without his spectacles!"
So take down the wrong answer....
None of them helped write the US Constitution. None of them were in the US. At the time it was being debated, John Adams was serving as minister to England, Jefferson was serving as minister to France and Thomas Paine was in France during the beginning of the French Revolution.
Thomas Jefferson did not sign the Constitution because he was in France during that time. John Adams did not sign because he was serving as the US Minister to Great Britain.
Thomas Paine did not directly contribute to the U.S. Constitution, as he was primarily known for his influential writings during the American Revolution, such as "Common Sense" and "The American Crisis." However, his ideas on liberty, democracy, and individual rights helped shape the political landscape that led to the Constitution. Paine's advocacy for republicanism and enlightenment ideals resonated with many of the Founding Fathers, influencing the broader philosophical context in which the Constitution was drafted.
He emigrated to Philadelphia, PA in November 1774.

Yes he did sign the US constitution. He also signed the Declaration of Independence and also help write it along with Thomas Jefferson.
Two founding fathers didn't sign the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson was the US rep in France and John Adams was doing the same in Great Britain.
The US Constitution was drafted jointly by many men involved in it directly and indirectly. They were called the framers. The three most important men involved were Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and John Adams. Most of the actual writing was done by Governor Morris of Pennsylvania. However the fourth President of the US James Madison is known as the 'Father of the Constitution' as he authored most part of the constitution.
Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine, James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson are usually credited with authoring the US Constitution, but Alexander Hamilton contributed many good ideas to it. Of course, George Washington was a great leader to those writing the constitution, insisting on certain concepts being included.
He emigrated to Philadelphia, PA in November 1774.
Thomas Paine wrote the "Common Sense" this gave or supported reasons to why the colonists should fight for their independence.
