Question: 1 / 400

What was the 1787 meeting that resulted in the creation of the U.S. Constitution called?

The Federalist Convention

The Constitutional Convention

The 1787 meeting that resulted in the creation of the U.S. Constitution was called the Constitutional Convention. This meeting is also known as the Philadelphia Convention because it took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The other options are incorrect because they either do not accurately describe what the convention was called or they use incorrect terminology. The Federalist Convention refers to the group of individuals who supported the ratification of the Constitution, not the actual meeting where it was created. The Philadelphia Summit is not a commonly used term for the Constitutional Convention and may refer to other historical events. The American Founding Conference is not a term used to describe the Constitutional Convention and may be confused with the later Continental Congress meetings. Therefore, the correct answer is B, the Constitutional Convention.
