Delaware sent five delegates to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. Richard Bassett, an affiable lawyer, early championed the need to revise the Articles of Confederation. Argumentative and articulate, Gunning Bedford, Jr., became the most vocal defender of the small states. Jacob Broom's impassioned plea against adjournment after the Convention split on the representation issue helped save the Constitution. John Dickinson, the "Penman of th Revolution," strogly supported a dominant and vigorous Congress. George Read, only one of six men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, came to Philadelphia supporting minor revisions to the Articles of Confederation, but in the end supported the new document. On September 17, 1787, these men endorsed the new Constitution. Within weeks after the Signing, Delaware's state legislature called for a convention to dicuss ratification. On December 6, 1787, by unanimous vote, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution.
