In 1787, delegates met in Philadelphia to draft the U.S. Constitution, but Rhode Island was the only state that did not send representatives. The convention aimed to address issues with the Articles of Confederation and ultimately resulted in creating a new government framework. This gathering was significant in shaping the future of American governance.
