The delegates to the Constitutional Convention spent four hot, summer months debating in the Assembly Room of the Pennsylvania State House — which we now know as Independence Hall. On September 17, 1787, 39 of the 42 delegates signed a document that would usher in a new form of government we still observe today. While debates would continue as states voted to ratify, we celebrate Constitution Day each year on the anniversary of its signing.
