What was the date that the framers signed the constitution?
The US constitution was signed on 17 september 1787. However, not all of those who were considered ‘framers’ of the constitution – those who were sent by their states to the constitutional convention to work the details of the document – were present to sign it. Notably, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were overseas on diplomatic missions when the document was signed.
