The Constitutional Convention lasted from May to September 1787—four months of grueling work in a Philadelphia summer. The windows were kept closed for secrecy, trapping the heat. Debates grew heated. Delegates left in frustration. At several points, the Convention nearly collapsed.
Washington wrote that the outcome remained uncertain "until the last moment." Delegates who disagreed on fundamental principles forced themselves back to the table, day after day, because the alternative—a failed nation—was worse than discomfort.
Benjamin Franklin, suffering from gout and age, was carried to sessions in a sedan chair. He kept showing up because the work mattered more than his pain.
