**The Signing of the Constition **
The signing of the U.S. Constitution took place on September 17, 1787 in the capital city of Philadelphia. George Washington, pictured above looking over the signing, was the president of the Constitutional Convention. Out of the 56 delegates 39 of them signed the Constitution. Of the signers were Benjamin Franklin, the oldest delegate to attend the convention, and James Madison who are both pictured above on the left side. Many delegates who signed the Constitution were not happy with it at all. These mixed feelings led toward the revision and the adding of the Bill of Rights in 1789 which pleased many more of the delegates.
