The constitutional convention had 55 delegates who came and went in the four months it took to write the Constitution. James Madison took the notes of the convention while George Washington was the president of the convention. Thomas Jefferson was in France with John Adams so they didn't take part in the writing the constitution. Ben Franklin was in attendance at the convention and because of his advanced age he was carried in on a chair by jail inmates. The average age of the delegates was 44 and most were lawyers. At the end of the seventeen weeks only 42 of the 55 members remained to sign the constitution. Included in this number is 3 who refused to sign and returned home. No members were completely happy about the final result, but they adopted what was acceptable to the body and the entire country.
