The U.S. Constitution was the product of the Constitutional Convention where debates were held and compromises were made in order to please those whose votes and influence mattered. There were 55 delegates, representing the 13 colonies, 39 of them signed it. James Madison is often called "the father of the Constitution," and Jacob Shallus was the clerk who physically penned the document.
