The delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 accomplished a great deal during the first days of the event. First of all, George Washington was unanimously voted in as the first President of the United States. Next they developed a framework for the separation of government powers that resulted in the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
A large number of the seats in the colonial assemblies were held by lawyers. Also, of the 55 delegates that attended the Constitutional Convention, around 34 of them were either lawyers or had studied law to some extent.
The most serious disagreement in the debate between large and small states at the Constitutional Convention was the issue of representation. Small states feared that their voices would be lost if representatives were chosen based on population, while big states didn't think it was fair that the small states would have as much influence as they had.
The Articles of Confederation were revised, said to be too large to take in and was unusable to salvage, and the U.S Constitution was written.
More than half of the population was not represented at the Constitutional Convention: women and people of color, whether free or slave. It could also be argued that working-class people were not represented; nearly all of the people who attended the Convention were lawyers, large landowners, or wealthy in some way.

William Few missed large segments of the Constitutional Convention proceedings, being absent during all of July and part of August because of congressional service, and he never made a speech. Nonetheless, he contributed nationalist votes at critical times. Furthermore, as a delegate to the last sessions of the Continental Congress, he helped steer the Constitution past its first obstacle, approval by Congress. And he attended the state ratifying convention.
