13 states and 13 colonies
There were 13 stars because at the time America had 13 colonies.
The Mayflower Compact was the first form of constitution in the Colonies. This document displayed many of the elements of the Magna Carta, and had a huge influence on the writing of our Constitution.
A number of folks were there for many of the meetings but not at the signing. That was not necessarily because they opposed. Three men present at the time of signing specificallyrefused refused to sign the document: George Mason of Virginia, Edmund Randolph of Virginia, and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts. Randolph later championed the Constitution at the Virginia ratifying convention, and Gerry became a big supporter of the Constitution after its ratification.
There were no states during the Revolutionary War, there were only colonies.

The thirteen original colonies
There were many actions that Rufus King took to help the US Constitution. He was a Massachusetts delegate during the Continental Convention. He rallied for the support of colonies for the fight for independence. He also was one of the signers of the US Constitution.

I think 35 of the 55 delegates were at the writting of the Constitution. Not the signing but when it was accually written

The British always had troops in the colonies . After 1773 the numbers grew in the men who were stationed in the colonies. So, if we do the math 1789-1773 is about 16 years give or take. I use 1773 as a base year because after the Tea Party there was a massive infusion of British soldiers.
40 delegates signed, 13 weren't there and didn't sign, and 3 refused to sign.
