Shapers of the great debate at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 : a biographical dictionary

"The U.S. Constitution and the concepts it proclaims have been under almost constant attack since its inception. At a convention in 1787, fifty-five delegates assembled in Philadelphia to revise and amend the Articles of Confederation, only to emerge sixteen weeks later with a new document: the U.S. Constitution."
