May 25, 2016 by NCC Staff

On May 25, 1787, the convention to write a new United States Constitution began in Philadelphia. So who much do you know about the key people in the room?

In all, there were 55 delegates at the convention between May 1787 and September 1787, one of the hottest summers on record. Some visited and left during the meetings, and only 39 delegates signed the document in September. Another three stayed to the end and refused to sign the approved version.

To test your knowledge of the seminal Founding Fathers in the State House (later known as Independence Hall) that summer, try your luck at this quick quiz. You can use the quiz player below or click the following link: http://ncc.polldaddy.com/s/name-that-founder
