State Delegation Votes Approving the Constitution Matted Print

For four months, delegates to the Constitutional Convention discussed what the new government should look like. Their debates, arguments, and resolutions are reflected in the convention’s voting records. This page documents the vote on the final text of the Constitution. Eleven of the 13 states voted because Rhode Island did not send delegates to the convention, and two of New York’s three delegates had already departed, thus leaving the delegation without a quorum. This matted print shows an excerpt of the states delegate's votes.
