Who was the chairman of the constitutonal convention?
George Washington was voted in as the chairman of the Constitutional convention. He became unhappy with the position because of the arguments between large and small populated states or northern free states and southern slave states. He also had to stay quiet or neutral with any remarks so he would not be accused of using his position to sway the vote on any contorversy. Thank goodness for Roger Sherman of Connecticut who came up with the Great Compromise. Three major compromises allowed the constitutional convention to conclude to the ratification process. “Father of the U.S. Contitution was a young delegate from Virginia named James Madison, who later will be voted in as the fourth President of the United States.
