I'm not an American history buff so you should probably do a bit of research yourself. I believe the term "Founding Fathers" can be taken three ways: the gentlemen that signed the Declaration of Independence, all of the men that were involved in the making and signing of the Declaration and the Constitution or Richard B. Morris's definition.

If taken the first way then no, the Constitution was not written by the Founding Fathers. Of the 56 that signed the Declaration of Independence, only 6 (i think) signed the Constitution as well.

By Richard B. Morris's (historian, former chairman of history department at Columbia University) definition the "Founding Fathers" are Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. AKA the ones you keep hearing about, who's faces you see everyday on our bills and loose change or see occasionally on those collectible dollar coins.
