The Constitutional Convention May 25, 1787-September 17, 1787. Delegates were to meet at the State House in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787. Unfortunately, delegates from only two states showed up...Virginia and Pennsylvania. You need seven states to hold such important proceedings as to rewrite the Articles of Confederation. A new date was set for May 25, 1787. Please watch the Breaking News Stories for more information.
