The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia met between May and September of 1787 to address the problems of the weak central government that existed under the Articles of Confederation.
Spurred by local pressure groups, colonial legislatures empowered delegates to attend a Continental Congress which would set terms for a boycott. The colony of Connecticut was the first to respond. The Congress first met in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, with delegates from each of the 13 colonies except Georgia.
The Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787.
The idea for a second convention began late in the proceedings at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. Prominent delegates Elbridge Gerry, George Mason, and Edmund Randolph espoused the idea of adding amendments and a bill of rights to the Constitution.
