In what year did the Constitutional Convention occur?
The Constitutional Convention was also called the Philadelphia Convention or the Grand Convention. The convention was from May 25 until September 17, 1787.
What was the Constitutional Convention originally called?
The convention of 1787 had no official name when it was called by Congress in its February 1787 resolution. It merely set a date and place for the convention. Indeed references to the convention afterward were equally vague in title. Not until 1835 when Congress authorized the publishing of the official record of the convention taken by the designated secretary of the convention, was an official title given to the convention. The official title given the convention by act of Congress was the "1787 Federal Convention."
