Who Wrote the US ConstitutionThe actual person with pen in hand writing was Governor Morris of Pennsylvania. After the text was agreed upon, Jacob Shallus wrote up the document nicely (engrossed) before the document was signed.There were 55 delegates who met in committees to hash it all out. Thirty four of these delegates were attorneys. Some of these men graduated from Yale and Harvard while others were self taught and studied the law on their own. It was a laborious process that lasted less than 100 working days. Many disagreements arose and three men refused to sign. Randolph and Mason, of Virginia, and Gerry, of Massachusetts--refused to sign. Presiding Authority George Washington was unanimously chosen to preside over the constitutional convention. Father of the Constitution The father of the constitution is James Madison because of his many contributions and his deep and broad familiarity with the subject. Works Cited : (National Archives)
