The Philadelphia Convention, also known as the Constitutional Convention, took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
The convention convened in the Pennsylvania State House on Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets. George Washington was unanimously elected as president of the convention.
In late July, the convention appointed a Committee of Detail to draft a document based on the agreements that had been reached. After another month of discussion and refinement, a second committee, the Committee of Style and Arrangement, headed by Gouverneur Morris, and including Hamilton, William Samuel Johnson, Rufus King, and Madison, produced the final version, which was submitted for signing on September 17. Morris is credited now, as then, as the chief draftsman of the final document, including the stirring preamble.
