Smart Fact 

On this day in 1787 Delegates gathered in Philadelphia to draw up the US Constitution. While the Constitution was the final result of this meeting, the delegates’ original plan was to re-write the Articles of Confederation (the first set of rules for our country) but that didn’t work out once they realized how many flaws the original set of rules had. To learn more about this historic event, visit Ducksters. Read about the Constitutional Convention and take the quiz!
