	Philadelphia Constitutional Convention 1787 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Convention had not proceeded far when it was discovered that the Articles of Confederation were too radically defective to afford a basis for a stable government, and therefore, instead of trying to amend them, they went diligently at work to form a new constitution.
		The Convention ordered their proceedings to be laid before the Congress, and by a carefully-worded resolution recommended that body to submit the new Constitution to the people (not the States), and ask them, the source of all sovereignty, to ratify or reject it.
		It was violently assailed in these conventions and through the medium of the press, by those who regarded allegiance to a State as paramount to that to the national government; while powerful essays in its favor were written by Hamilton, Madison and Jay, under the title of The Federalist.

		Because he came to the convention with the fewest delegates, Willkie’s plan was to win the nomination by a show of his overwhelming public support.

		The convention broke up for a dinner recess, and the delegates left the hall knowing that the outcome of the convention would be determined by which candidate, Willkie or Taft, would capture the most delegates defecting from the Dewey camp.
