What did the leaders decide to do instead of revising the Articles of Confederation?
The convention that came to be known as the Constitutional Convention or the Federal Convention, meeting in Philadelphia, was instructed by the government under the Articles to revise the existing frame of government. Instead, the delegates decided to throw out the Articles of Confederation and write a new constitution for the nation.
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.
Are there any misspelled words in the Constitution?
NOBut remember, the accepted spelling of some words has changed over the last 2 centuries. The one in the Constitution that stands out is "chuse" instead of "choose". And if you follow its example for the use of capital letters, you'll get an F in English composition!
