No. Twelve of the thirteen states were represented at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Rhode Island did not send a delegate, because they wanted to keep the government established under the Articles of Confederation.
If Rhode Island hadn't boycotted the Convention in Philadelphia, Patrick Henry would have been their delegate.
