September 17 1787
James Madison was carried in a French sedan chair to the Constitutional Convention each day. Due to his frail health and small stature, this mode of transportation was necessary for him to attend the sessions. Madison's contributions to the convention were pivotal in shaping the U.S. Constitution, earning him the title "Father of the Constitution."
Franklin served as what was then called an "elder statesman" giving occasional wise advice. It is likely that his speech on the last day of the convention made the difference in getting the Constitution passed.

The Constitution was approved by the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention of September 17, 1787. As soon as the document was available until 9 states ratified it on June 21, 1788. The debate continued on the four remaining states until Rhode Island ratified on May 29, 1790. Of course debating continues to this day, right?
