    The Constitutional Convention happened in 1787 in Philadelphia. The intent of the convention was to establish the U. S. Constitution. Each state, regardless of its number of delegates had a single vote. Thirty-nine of the fifty-five delegates supported the adoption of the new Constitution. Rhode Island was against the Convention and therefore sent no representation.

    Of the present delegates, the 16 representatives who refused to sign the Constitution were:

    Oliver Ellsworth - Connecticut

    William Houstoun - Georgia

    William L. Pierce - Georgia

    Luther Martin - Maryland

    John F Mercer - Maryland

    Elbridge Gerry - Massachusetts

    Caleb Strong - Massachusetts

    William C. Houston - New Hampshire
