What common features did most of the delegates to the constitutional convention share?
For the most part the delegates to the American constitutional convention were well educated aristocrats of the time. Another common feature they shared was the distinct dislike of monarchies. Despite their own individual wealth and high social status, they believed in the right of male citizens to vote and have a say in the new government of the former 13 British colonies.
They also, to one degree or another, believed that each State, had certain rights and they did not want a powerful, overbearing central government.

What was the original purpose of the constitutional convention held in may 1787 in Philadelphia's independence hall?
The original purpose of the 1787 Philadelphia Convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation, the first document outlining the operation of the United States national government.

Many of the 55 delegates at the Convention finally concluded there was no way to patch the old system, so they secretly rewrote the plan for government in the US Constitution. The Philadelphia Convention later became known as the Constitutional Convention.
