What happened at the Constitutional Convention?
Official USCIS answers
- The Constitution was written.
- The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution.
Why this is the answer
In 1787, delegates met in Philadelphia to fix the weak national government. Instead, they wrote a brand-new plan of government called the Constitution. This is why the meeting is called the Constitutional Convention.
