∙ 13y agoAt the time, they were simply called delegates; now they are collectively called the Framers of the Constitution.
Each state (except Rhode Island) sent delegates to the 1787 Philadelphia Convention to represent the interests of the State. The original purpose of the convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation; no one, including the delegates themselves, was aware the meeting would result in an entirely new plan for government, the US Constitution.
The Philadelphia Convention later became known as the Constitutional Convention because of this accomplishment, and the delegates who actively worked to create a new government are now known as the Framers of the Constitution.
