constitutional convection
led by Gorge Washington in 1787 to change the articles of the confederation because the fed gov did not have enough power
55 delegates showed up among them was Thomas Jefferson and john adams and they discussed how and why the constitution had to change
only 39 out of the 55 actually singed the constitution because some people did not like the idea to give the fed gov more power.
