Thomas Jefferson and John Adams are two founding fathers who were overseas working as diplomats at the time of the Constitutional Conventions, so they did not sign it. Also, Samuel Adams (another generally important Adams), Patrick Henry ("Give me liberty or give me death"), and Thomas Paine (who wrote "Common Sense") didn't sign it because they had problems with the Constitution as it was when it was being signed.
