1787

The war with England was over. The United States

of America was a free nation. But soon, the country was

in trouble. The government was weak. It had very little

money. People were unhappy. Something had to be done.

If not, the new nation would fail.

In May 1787, George Washington traveled to

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Other leaders joined him

there. Their job was to fix what wasnt working. The

nations future was in their hands.

They met for four months. They talked. They wrote.

They argued. They rewrote. Finally, they agreed.

leaders in 1787
