The delegates to the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia, PA drafted the United States Constitution. Three plans were presented to the delegates--the New Jersey Plan, the Virginia Plan, and Hamilton's Plan. The delegates finally accepted what came to be known as "The Great Compromise" which took parts from the New Jersey and Virginia plans. The delegates realized that compromise agreements would be necessary if they were to draft a new constitution for the nation. On Monday, August 6, 1787, the convention accepted the first draft of the Constitution. MrV
