Fifty-five delegates from 12 states attended various parts of the convention. Drawn from the educated and wealthy elite of the country they included such luminaries as George Washington the commander of American forces in the War of Independence who presided overthe convention and Benjamin Franklin at 81 the oldest delegate and the country s most famous statesman.
