        The date the US constitution was signed is 1776 , it was written and drafted by Thomas Jefferson(the 3rd pres). The most famous signature on it is john Hancock because he wanted to write it so big so that the king of England could see it without his glasses on.

        Congress did not sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the Declaration was first published as a typeset broadside; the famous handwritten version was created after July 19 then singed on August 2.
