Detailed explanation-2: -Rhode Island did not send any delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
Detailed explanation-3: -Recognized as one of America’s great Revolutionary-era leaders, most historians maintain that it was fortuitous that Adams did not attend the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
