Think about this too. The constitution making was in fact an act of treason. We already had a ratified , albeit nonworking, government installed. When they first proposed to gather and talk about it in the first place they where commiting treason by attempting to over throw our government. In the end it worked out for the best, but it was still a crime

The 1st Constitution was called the Articles of Confederation, but George Washington an others felt it was lacking because it had no president, no way to pay national debt such as the war.....many of the men who brought the Articles of Confederation into being also brought todays Constitution. It was ratified by representitives of the first 13 states, an was Congress approved......I see no act of treason. But willing to listen to anyone who can share reasons why it was.
