Below is a list of America's Constitutors, comprising the national figures who played a direct role in shaping the United States between 1774 and 1790. This list covers six pivotal assemblies: the First Continental Congress, the Second Continental Congress, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United States in Congress Assembled (the Congress of the Confederation), the Philadelphia Convention (the Constitutional Convention), and the state ratifying conventions for the federal Constitution.

​

In total, 1,969 men participated in these six key assemblies. Excluding the state ratifying conventions, the number is 360. These men represented the political elite of the emerging nation, though hundreds of thousands of other men and women also contributed—and in many cases sacrificed—for American independence.

​

For reference in the list below:

• First CC = First Continental Congress

• Second CC = Second Continental Congress

• DI = Declaration of Independence

• USCA = United States in Congress Assembled

• PC = Philadelphia Convention (Constitutional Convention) — an * indicates they participated but did not sign the Constitution

• SRC = State Ratifying Convention

Voting in the ratifying conventions is indicated as:

• (Y) = voted for the Constitution

• (N) = voted against

• (A) = absent

• (NV) = present but did not vote
