Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was where both the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were devised and signed.
New York and Philadelphia were both used as temporary capitals during the Revolutionary war as either was captured by the British or liberated, but by the end of the war, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States, and would remain that way as the United States government slowly shifted to the newly built Washington City as various Federal buildings like the White House were completed. John Adams was the first President to live in the White House.
Prior to America gaining full independence from England there were two constitutional conventions held. The first one was called by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton.
The convention beginning on May 25, 1787, was referred to as the Phildelphia Convention or the Grand Convention, but because it actually led to the replacement of the Articles with a new Constitution, it is usually called the Constitutional Convention.
These reps were called delegates.
