Larger states with significant populations, such as Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, would most likely support the Virginia Plan during the Constitutional Convention. The plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which favored these states over smaller ones. States like Virginia, which had a large population and a strong interest in increasing their influence in the national government, would have been particularly supportive of this plan.
12 of the 13 states sent delegations to what became the Constitutional Convention. Rhode island did not send anyone, likely because of misgivings about the representation to be given to smaller states. Rhode Island only ratified the Constitution in 1790 after the Bill of Rights had already been passed and submitted.
The weather during the Constitutional Convention, which took place from May to September 1787 in Philadelphia, was reportedly very hot and humid. This uncomfortable climate likely contributed to the challenges faced by delegates as they worked on drafting the United States 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.

It was presented on May 29, 1787.
The constitutional convention was held in the summer and they shut all the doors of Independence hall so it will be held in secret. to sum it all up, it was blazing hot a sweaty (especially considering that don't have deodorant)
Several of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were very concerned that the new document they were to vote on didn't do enough to protect individual liberties. That was the reason that adding a Bill of Rights was the first change made to the Constitution after it's ratification.
