When was the US Constitution written?
The U.S. Constitution was finalized, signed, and forwarded to Congress by the members of the Constitutional Congress in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. To take your question in a literal sense, the person that physically wrote (pen and ink) the Constitution, was Jacob Shallus, Assistant Clerk of the Pennsylvania State Assembly. He was paid $30 for the work. He also misspelled “Pennsylvania” when he wrote the document http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/constitution/conqa.html http://www.unitedstates-on-line.com/constitutionfacts.
