Both men feared that it would establish a strong central government.
The original states, except Rhode Island, collectively appointed 70 individuals to the Constitutional Convention, but a number did not accept or could not attend. Those who did not attend included Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams and, John Hancock.
The main fight at the constitutional convention was that Jefferson wanted independence and Adams said no you cannot because its unconstitutional!
