...work on something important was started.

 

Can name what started on this date that year?

My college application?

Delegates met in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation. The delegates decided it was better to create a new document, rather than rework the old one. This meeting is now know as the Constitutional Convention.

Winner.

 

As a Constitutional Republic, the Constitution is critical for the framework of the self-governed. Without it, we would just be subjects, not Citizens.

I'm trying to imagine how miserably hot it would have been in that room, dressed up all heavy with the Victorian garb of the time, and what undoubtedly also featured a great deal of hot air circulating in the form of speechifying.

Neither had the concept of regular bathing. Probably a wash. Those guys would've smelled atrocious in freezing weather.

 

And I seem to recall reading that Philly weather was particularly hot and humid that year.

Though it's about the Declaration, this clip probably sums it up in 1787 as well.
