The convention had come together to revise the articles of confederation ; it ended by framing an entirely new instrument, the Consti- tution of the United States. It was on Saturday, the 15th of September, that the real work of the convention was brought to a close and in order to finish it up the conven- tion continued in session on that day until six o'clock. At that hour Madison's simple state- ment is : "On the question to agree to the Consti- tution, as amended. All the States ay. - -The ...Constitution was then ordered to be engrossed. " Just before the vote was taken to agree to the constitution, Randolph made a last plea for a second convention to act upon amendments that might be suggested by individual state conven- tions. Unless this were done, he said that he could not sign the constitution then and that he might oppose its adoption later. Mason followed [191] THE FRAMING OF THE CONSTITUTION in the same vein, and announced that unless a second convention were agreed to, he would neither sign the constitution then, nor give it his support later in Virginia.
