Pennsylvania's delegation to the 1787 convention was pivotal in the drafting and ratification of the Constitution. George Clymer played the role of conciliator when he served on the Grand Committee. Thomas FitzSimons was a respected banker whose calm demeanor and advice was sought out by the Convention. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, although advanced in years, provided stability and historical insight during the most heated debates. Jared Ingersoll possessed both a keen legal mind and extraordinary eloquence. Thomas Mifflin, Pennsylvania's leading Revolutionary War General, served as the Speaker of the Assembly under Franklin. Gouverneur Morris, an accomplished orator and writer, provided the Constitution's finished "style and arrangement." Robert Morris, "The Financier," was a close friend of General Washington; his influence among large state delegates was considerable. James Wilson along with James Madison of Virginia, were responsible for a large part of the Constitution's form and substance.
