    • Geschiedenis

On September 17, 1787, Benjamin Franklin wanted to deliver a closing speech to the Convention prior to the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Physically unable to give the speech himself, Franklin had fellow Pennsylvanian James Wilson deliver the speech he had prepared. It is considered one of his finest and most important speeches ever written.
