Constitutional Foundations: Constitutional Convention
55 men from 12 states met at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Most were part of the colonial elite and had public service experience, such as serving in the Continental Congress or as state governors. Key figures included George Washington, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. The proceedings were kept secret and states received one vote each, with no record of individual votes. Debates centered around the form of the office of the executive, including whether it should be singular or plural, and the mechanism for selection such as direct election or election by Congress.
