fiftyfive delegates were at the constitutional convention
15 delegates did not attend. 70 were chosen to attend but only 55 attended.
All 13 states were invited to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Only Rhode Island refused to send delegates, fearing (correctly) that the Convention didn't really intend to revise the Articles of Confederation, but rather to replace it with a Constitution that created a strong federal government.
Rhode Island was the only state that didn't send delegates to the Constitutional Convention. It was also the last state to ratify the Constitution.

Benjamin Franklin was one of eight (8) delegates to attend the convention for Pennsylvania. The convention first began on May 25, 1787, and ended on September 17, 1787.
The representatives of the original 13 states sent to Philadelphia for the U.S. Constitutional Convention (originally "Philadelphia Convention") are called delegates. The resolution calling for delegates to the Convention was issued by the Continental Congress on February 21, 1787: "... it is expedient that on the second Monday in May next a Convention of delegates who shall have been appointed by the several States be held at Philladelphia for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation...."Although a total of 70 delegates were appointed by the States, 55 ended up attending (none came from Rhode Island), and but 39 actually signed the final document.
