The first formal meeting to reassess the Articles of Confederation was held in Annapolis, Maryland in September 1786, at about the same time as Shays’ Rebellion. Only five states bothered to send any delegates, and there was really only one thing that was accomplished: they decided to try again the following May in Philadelphia. That one would enjoy better attendance, and produce a much different result: the U.S. Constitution. Many famous names were counted as attendees, but we intend to focus on the name most closely associated with this deal...and one who favored change, but refused to sign the Constitution. In this episode of History: Beyond the Textbook, we’ll learn about compromise and dissent at the Constitutional Convention through the lens of two men: Roger Sherman and George Mason, the self-educated Sages of the Philadelphia Convention.
