Constitution Day On September 17, 1787, the 55 delegates to the
Constitutional Convention held their final meeting. Only one item of business
occupied the agenda that day, to sign the Constitution of the United States of
America. Since May 14, 1787 the 55 delegates had gathered almost daily in the
State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of
Confederation. By the middle of June, it became apparent to the delegates that
to merely amend the Articles of Confederation would not be sufficient. Instead,
they would write an entirely new document designed to clearly define and
separate the powers of the central government, the powers of the states, the
rights of the people and how the representatives of the people should be
elected.
