What was not one of the problems faced by the delegates at the Constitutional convention of 1787?
Some of the problems in the constitutional convention in 1787 was that of the 74 delegates chosen to attend this, only 55 were present. During the four months that they were there, they had to deal with problems such as the press, weather, and issues. By meeting with each other in order to create a new type of government, these people were basically trying to overthrow the government, which was the Articles of Confederation at that time. They had to keep it a secret even though each state knew that they were there in order to do so, legally, the states did not know if it could be done. They had to make an oath of secrecy. In order to keep things out of the press, they had to have 2 guards at each entrance. Their secrecy only made the press more curious. In the history of Philadelphia, that summer was the hottest summer. The average temperature was 98 degrees. These men were wearing wool and wigs. In between themselves, they also had friction. On some issues, such as representation based upon population, they were divided.These people did it for free but were rewarded with their names written down in history.
