We all learned from school that the Constitutional Convention was held in May of 1787 within of what is now known as Independence Hall. But how much do we know about the process the Founding Fathers followed in those crucial four months? Dr. Bryan M. Santin is here to discuss how the Constitutional Convention operated. He explains the major rules set in place, the number of delegates present, the purpose of action committees, and how ratification debates worked. Dr. Bryan also highlights the most notable players who made their mark in the convention, from George Washington's groundbreaking election as the first President to George Mason's indomitable spirit to fight for the Bill of Rights.
