In general terms, it was 'Federalists' among America's leaders who pushed for the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Convinced that the young nation would not and could not survive for long without a stronger central (that is, federal) government, leaders such as George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, among many others, led the way in organizing the convention and then carrying through with a rebirth of the nation as a constitutional republic with a stronger federal government.
