What is the number of signatures on the original U.S. Constitution?
39 signers
Why did only 35 people sign the constitution not all the 55 deligates?
It should be noted that only 39 delegates signed the Constitution. There is one additional signature, that of William Jackson - he was the secretary of the convention and not a delegate. Of the 55 delegates, all of them identified themselves at some point in their lives as Christians or, at the very least, Deists. The vast majority were Protestant, most being Episcopalian, with Presbyterian also making up considerable number. Only two were Roman Catholic.
Who favored loose construction?
Alexander Hamilton is an example of an early politician who believed in loose construction in terms of the U.S. Constitution. Hamilton was America's 1st Secretary of the Treasury.
Who defended the constitution and the union?
Jackson
Did William Samuel Johnson sign the Constitution?
No he didn't. He was an anti-federalist, he was against the constitution convention, but he was still a founding father. Monroe's opposition to the U. S. Constitution centered around three major issues. He felt the lack of a Bill of Right was a major omission, the Senate was too powerful and that the document should allow for the direct election of the President (no electoral college). Monroe voted against ratification, but that didn't stop him from running for the body on three different occasions (2 wins, 1 loss). He was closely aligned with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison against the Federalist faction led by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton.
