Best Answer

12 of the 13 states sent delegations to what became the Constitutional Convention. Rhode Island did not send anyone, likely because of misgivings about the representation to be given to smaller states. Rhode Island only ratified the Constitution in 1790 after the Bill of Rights had already been passed and submitted.
