The US Constitution was not created by the Founders. The US Constitution was written by delegates who attended the Philadelphia Convention.
First it was the Articles of Confederation Then the delegates at the Philadelphia convention created the Constitution of the US
In a sense.The Constitutional Convention, in itself, did not replace the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was created at the Convention and it was based upon some of the ideals that the Articles of Confederation had, but had changed many things.So, in a sense, no. The Constitutional Convention did notreplace the Articles of Confederation, but the Constitution that was created then did.
The Delegates decided whether to ratify The Articles Of Confederation or our current Constitution. In doing so they created our amazing Representative Republic.
The Constitutional Convention in which the constitution was created began on May 25, 1787 and its final session was on September 17, 1787. At this time the delegates from each state decided whether to ratify it or not.
All 13 states were invited to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Only Rhode Island refused to send delegates, fearing (correctly) that the Convention didn't really intend to revise the Articles of Confederation, but rather to replace it with a Constitution that created a strong federal government.
Many of the delegates at the Philadelphia Convention argued for a stronger national government, as one of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that it created a weak national government. The Constitutional Convention was held in 1787.
The United States Constitution.
The constitution was the outcome. It created the government that has lasted to this day.
If the question was "Where was the Constitution created?" then it was in Philedelphia during the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
The United States Constitution was created on September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the Constitutional Convention. The Convention had convened a number of months earlier in May, and after much debate and deliberation, thirty-nine of the fifty-five delegates signed the document. The Constitution was then sent to state conventions to be ratified by the people. The entire process was complete on June 21, 1788.
According to the National Constitution Center, www.constitutioncenter.org, There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it."
