The final delegate selection to the U.S. Constitutional Convention (also known as the Philadelphia Convention or the Grand Convention, at the time) from the 13 states totaled 55. By state: * 8 from Virginia * 4 from New Jersey * 8 from Pennsylvania * 5 from North Carolina * 5 from Delaware * 4 from Georgia * 3 from New York * 4 from South Carolina * 4 from Massachusetts * 3 from Connecticut * 5 from Maryland * 2 from New Hampshire * 0 from Rhode Island Originally, different delegates were selected by Virginia, but three refused. Rhode Island declined to send any delegates. When the "Grand Convention" convened in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, most delegates hadn't arrived. By the 25th, however, there was a quorum, of 7 states, represented, and the convention began. Many delegates arrived weeks or months late, and others left early before the final voting. When the final version of a new Constitution was submitted for signing, on September 17, 39 men put their pens to the document.

A few of the nation's most prominent leaders, such as Thomas Jefferson and John Jay, were absent because they were on diplomatic missions in Europe.

How many Democratic delegates does Michigan have?
Michigan was supposed to have 128 delegates plus 29 superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Michigan of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5. Hillary Clinton, who ran unopposed in Michigan, is insisting that the delegates be seated. Barack Obama, who kept his name off the ballot as party officials requested, insists that the delegates not be seated. If the primary remains so close that the vote totals from Michigan and Florida could tip the scales, the argument over these delegates may leave the losing side feeling that it was robbed of the election.
