Which state walked out of the Constitutional Convention?
Only the state of Rhode Island (State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations) refused to send a delegate to the Philadelphia Convention (later called the Constitutional Convention) because they believed the Convention was really a conspiracy to overthrow the established government. Patrick Henry would have been a delegate from Rhode Island, if they'd chosen to participate. Of the 74 delegates invited, 55 actually attended. A few of the nation's most prominent leaders, such as Thomas Jefferson and John Jay, were absent because they were on diplomatic missions in Europe.

What role did Alexander Hamilton play in the Constitutional Convention?
Hamilton drafted the resolution that led to the assembling of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. At the convention Hamilton was unable to play a significant role. His desire for a strongly centralized federal government, including a president for life, was not shared by the other convention delegates, and his two fellow delegates from New York were Anti-Federalists who were able to outvote him on every measure. Hamilton then turned his energies to securing the ratification of the Constitution.

What did two delegates from New York do when they didn't like the way things were going at the convention?
They took a hike. John Lansing and Robert Yates walked out of the Constitutional Convention leaving Alexander Hamilton with a voice on the floor but no vote on the acceptance or rejection of the new US Constitution. (Because of the Convention rules two delegates were required to vote Yay or Nay on the product or the State had no vote. Lansing and Yates had nullified New York's vote by their absence,) Hamilton signed the Constitution but in effect, New York had an equal voting block with Rhode Island which did not even attend. For the sake of America Hamilton's voice was heard but he had no vote on the Conventions efforts.
Who was at the Constitutional Convention?
There were 55 delegates, including George Washington (whom the delegates unanimously elected to chair the convention), Ben Franklin (the 'sage' of the convention, and, at 81, it's oldest member), Alexander Hamilton (later in the convention he was stripped of his vote when the other New York delegates left), and James Madison of Virginia (whose scrupulous notes would tell us of the proceedings of the Convention). Rhode Island did not send a delegate. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were not there because they were serving the country abroad, but they sent letters encouraging the delegates. Patrick Henry did not attend because he "smelt a rat" that the convention, which was purportedly only to revise the Articles of Confederation, would instead write an entirely new document creating a strong federal government "tending toward the monarchy." 39 delegates actually signed the Constitution.
