The signers of the Constitution were almost all local boys - born, raised, and educated in the Americas.
The exceptions were one, a native of Liverpool, and another from St Croix; both emigrated as children. A third had been an officer in the British army, and a fourth was born and educated in Scotland.
In my book that makes the Constitution an almost entirely, and uniquely, American creation.
