Constitutional Convention of 1787 |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| George Washington was instrumental in bringing about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Elected as a delegate to the convention by the Virginia General Assembly, Washington was chosen its president. In that position, he avoided expressing his political opinions. Since it was likely he would be the nation’s first president, he understood the need for his impartiality. | ||||||
