who urged congress to call for the constitutional convention?
delegates from five states
in september 1786, at the annapolis convention, delegates from five states called for a constitutional convention in order to discuss possible improvements to the articles of confederation. the subsequent constitutional convention was to begin in philadelphia, convening in the old pennsylvania state house (then becoming known as independence hall) on may 25, 1787. rhode island, fearing that the convention would work to its disadvantage, boycotted the convention and, when the constitution was put to the states during the next year of controversial debates, initially refused to ratify it, waiting until may 1790 to become the thirteenth state, a year after the new federal government commenced.
