Who were the delegates for Delaware in the Declaration of Independence?

Answer 1

Delaware had 3 delegates to the constitution, thomas mcKean, george read & Caesar Rodney. mcKean was unable to attend to cast his vote in favor of ratification and he knew read was going to vote against it so he sent a messenger asking Caesar Rodney to rush to philly to cast his vote in favor of ratification. Rodney rode 86 miles in staggering heat, torrential rain & flooded streams, over slick cobblestone streets to arrive barely in time to cast his vote to ratifiy the constitution. he believed as a representative of the people of Delaware he was obligated to vote their voice not his - - he was however, of the same belief. he also held more public offices than any other person ever in the history of the u.s. how different from so many of today's representatives who choose not to listen to the citizens who elected them to speak for their beliefs, but choose instead to vote to many times for their own personal or political gain
