At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, several key groups were not represented, including women, enslaved people, and Native Americans. Additionally, there were no representatives from lower socioeconomic classes or individuals without property, as the delegates primarily came from wealthy, landowning backgrounds.

The delegates to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 were a diverse group of influential leaders, primarily composed of wealthy landowners, merchants, and professionals. They were predominantly well-educated, with many having experience in governance or law, reflecting a commitment to creating a strong federal government. While representing various states and interests, they shared a common goal of addressing the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and establishing a more effective framework for national governance. Their deliberations ultimately led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution.
