Almost all of the fifty - five delegates had taken part in the Revolution, with at least twenty - nine having served in the Continental forces, most in positions of command. All but two or three had served in colonial or state government during their careers. The vast majority (about 75 %) of the delegates were or had been members of the Confederation Congress, and many had been members of the Continental Congress during the Revolution. Several had been state governors. Just two delegates, Roger Sherman and Robert Morris, would be signatories to all three of the nation 's founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution.
