Vaughn · Answer 1

The Philadelphia convention was attended by all white men. Most delegates to the convention were young men aged between 20 and 30. Some re-owned political figures also attended the convention. The delegates who attended the convention were from mixed backgrounds.

About half the delegates were college graduates and men aged more than 30 were investment bankers or had an interest in the stock market. The delegates were wealthy and educated and so it is believed that the convention did not include the entire American society.
