In 1787, the Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia, attended by delegates from all thirteen states except for Rhode Island. The state chose not to participate due to concerns that a stronger national government would be detrimental to its interests. Eventually, Rhode Island ratified the new Constitution on May 29, 1790, as the last state to do so.
