About this Quiz
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was a pivotal event in the history of the United States. Held in Philadelphia, the convention brought together delegates from twelve of the thirteen original states, with Rhode Island being the only state that did not send any delegates. The primary purpose of the convention was to address the problems of the weak central government that existed under the Articles of Confederation. The result was the creation of the U.S. Constitution, a new framework of government that provided for a stronger federal government while still preserving states' rights. The convention was presided over by George Washington and included other notable figures such as James Madison, known as the 'Father of the Constitution', and Benjamin Franklin, the oldest delegate. The convention was characterized by intense debates over issues such as representation in Congress, the structure of the government, and the issue of slavery. These debates led to several compromises, including the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Great Compromise. The Constitution was eventually ratified by nine states, making it the supreme law of the land.
