Descrição:

*In response to the fact that the Articles of Confederation had failed, 55 men from 12 states (Rhode Island not included) gathered in Philadelphia in secret to discuss a new government.* The biggest names who were present included Washington, Ben Franklin, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton, while other war leaders such as Jefferson, Samuel Adams, John Adams, and Thomas Paine were also present.
