Was York PA ever the capital of the US?
During the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), York served as the temporary capital of the Continental Congress. The Articles of Confederation were drafted and adopted in York, though they would not be ratified until March of 1781.
York is one of many cities that lay claim to the title of First Capital of the United States, although historians generally consider it to be the fourth capital, after Philadelphia, Baltimore and Lancaster. The claim arises from the assertion that the Articles of Confederation was the first legal document to refer to the colonies as "the United States of America".The argument depends on whether the Declaration of Independence, which also uses the term, would be considered a true legal document of the United States, being drafted under and in opposition to British rule.
This body met in philadelphia and voted on the declaration of independence?
It was NOT the Declaration of Independence they met to revise, but the Articles of Confederation. They were supposed to modify the Confederation; instead they came up with an entirely new government, described in the Constitution.

What was the consitutional convention?
The convention was called because the federal government established by the Articles of Confederation was considered to be too weak to effectively deal with the states' issues. Officially, the purpose of the convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation. Many feel that this was a drastic understatement, and that the real goal of many of its key proponents was to replace the Articles of Confederation and create a strong federal government.
The result of the convention was the U.S. Constitution, which was signed by 38 delegates on the final day of the convention, and ratified by most of the states during the following year.
The key issues regarded Congressional representation and slavery. The "Great Compromise" was a bicameral legislature -- two houses of Congress where the states would have equal representation in the Senate, but proportional representation in the House of Representatives. Regarding slavery, Congress did not have the power to abolish slavery but would get the power to end the slave trade beginning in 1808. The three-fifths compromise meant that 3 of every 5 slaves would be counted when apportioning a state's representation in the House of Representatives.
George Washington was unanimously elected president of the convention. Benjamin Franklin was considered the sage of the convention, the elder statesman who helped calm tempers and bring about the compromises.
In the summer of 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, some of the most important decisions in the history of the United States were made. During this time, the Philadelphia (or Constitutional) Convention was held; a secret meeting that hosted 55 delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies (excluding Rhode Island) where they discussed and eventually derived the Constitution in order to replace the preceding Articles of Confederation because of their weakness of federal power. The Pennsylvania State House, currently known as Independence Hall, had become the center of debate for nearly four months.
In the summer of 1787, the Constitutional Convention hosted a committee of delegates from the 13 colonies appointed to write the constitution. Led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, this secret meeting took place in the Pennsylvania State House, currently known as Independence Hall. Delegates from all thirteen colonies were invited to this meeting to discuss the Articles of Confederation and how it could be strengthened. 55 delegates showed up, none from Rhode Island. Instead of following the original idea of strengthening the Articles of Confederation, the Philadelphia Convention quickly turned into a complete abandonment of the Articles and took up the creation of the Constitution.

What were the major conflicts of the Philadelphia Convention and how were they resolved?
Eleven years after the start of the country, it became obvious that the Articles of Confederation was failing. The founding fathers decided a change was in order. The meeting in Philadelphia began on Friday, May 25, 1787 at what is now called Independence Hall, behind locked doors and in secrecy.
The Philadelphia Convention had many conflicts but probably the major conflict was the representation of the states. There were two plans, one drafted by James Madison (Virginia Plan) and another prepared by William Patterson (New Jersey Plan) for how they thought representation of each state should be.
Both Virginia and New Jersey submitted their plans to the convention for consideration. After a considerable debate, the Virginia Plan was used as the basis for the new constitution. Not all recommendations in this plan were accepted. On September 17, 1787, the final draft of the Constitution was signed. The work was done. The Constitution of the United States had been created.
Big State vs Little State.How to determine representation for each state was a critical issue that was solved by choosing a bicameral legislature where the states were all equals at one level and the people were all equal at another.
Slavery was already an issue in the US as it was worldwide and with three southern states having an enslaved population that was about 40 percent of the total population their status as property or Citizens was resolved with the three fifths compromise.
To survive as a Nation, and to become a Great World Power from Sea to Shining Sea these thirteen diverse units would first have to be melded together into a single Union.
The US Constitution that was produced was an imperfect covenant. It was bartered to deal with issues that would only be resolved as society evolved. That evolutionary process would include a deadly Civil War.
