I was going to propose this list on featured list candidates. I've added an image, but it needs some references - would some of the references to United States Constitution be appropriate? -- ALoan (Talk) 08:34, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes! Oh, and isJ ames Madison really a jounior? McTeedeium

List unnecessary

Hey, the alphabetical list is unnessesary. I suggest removing it. - A concerned patron 69.81.158.63 (talk) 13:13, 23 November 9, 2006

Question

What exactly is the meaning of "Sending State" in the table ? Gridge 19:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

The people who signed the document were delegates from particular states to the Constitutional Convention. That column says which state they represented. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 20:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, next time I'll actually read the article... Gridge 15:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Gouvernor Morris

Wasn't Gouvernor Morris a signer of both the articles of Confederacy and The Constitution? He's not listed as one though... Nokeekon (talk) 19:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Thomas FitzSimons

Is there any reason Thomas FitzSimons (of Pennsylvania) is listed as Thomas Fitzsimons? The picture of page 4 of the constitution above looks to me to be clearly "Tho, FitzSimons". I'll change it if I don't hear back in a few days. Smallbones (talk) 20:18, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

John Adams Dickinson

I think that there is a mistake. John Adams Dickinson is on the list, but the correct name is John Samuel Dickinson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dickinson_%28politician%29 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.229.128 (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Addition to the signers

I have had multiple people inform me of an error on this page. They have told me repeatedly that Benjamin Harrison V, one of the signers of the declaration of independence, also signed the Constitution. Emberpelt (talk) 17:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, I don't see anything about that in our article on Benjamin Harrison V, which actually says he opposed the Constitution because it didn't have a Bill of Rights. Do you have a source that says otherwise? Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:47, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

From the archives.gov site: 55 delegates attended the Constitutional Convention sessions, but only 39 actually signed the Constitution (plus Jackson as secretary). Harrison is not on the list.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 18:55, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
