Final answer:

The entire Constitutional Convention was made up of men who were prominent leaders and thinkers of the revolutionary and post-revolutionary era. They were wealthy, well-educated, and had experience in state and national governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The men who attended the Constitutional Convention included some of the most prominent men of the revolutionary and post-revolutionary era. George Washington was present at the convention (and was chosen to be its president), along with Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Roger Sherman. As a group, the framers of the Constitution were wealthier and better educated than the average American. Nearly all of them had experience in state and national governments, and many of them had fought in the revolution.
