Well, the delegates called the convention to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and to create a stronger central government. The danger looming for Americans at that time was the potential for disunity and chaos due to the lack of a strong federal authority to maintain order and resolve disputes between states. But by coming together at the convention, they were able to work towards a more perfect union and create the United States Constitution, ensuring a brighter future for all.
How many delegates wrote the Constitution?
The Constitution was finished on September 12, 1787. Of the 55 delegates, 42 attended most of the meetings, and 39 delegates (and the attesting secretary) actually signed the Constitution. Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to sign, due in part to the lack of a bill of rights.(See the Related questions for the list of those who did and didn't sign.)
