How many states were represented at the Constitutional Convention?

All 13 colonies except Rhode Island, who didn't have an appointment at the convention.

We were quite happy with a loose confederation of states, thank you.

Texas could legally be its own state. It is the only one that joined the Union by treaty rather than annex. So Texas came on its own terms and could leave on its own as well.

C'mon Basil, you can flash better English skills than that, sanctimoniousness.

ouch ouch ouch. You right. Ok, so I picked up the ditchinarry next to my desk and sniffed it. There are two forms of the noun - sanctimoniousness, and sanctimony. I think I was trying to splice in equanimity or something.

Actually, the last time someone tried, they sent in a bunch of ATF, FBI, CIA, and such other acronymical agents and shot those bastards to pieces.

Sorry man, I just finished a Tom Robbins novel.

Ya that was those Republic of Texas idiots. But technically, if the state govt. decided it wanted to it could leave. Probably wouldn't be a good idea though.

Yep but those were just a few yahoos. If the majority made up its mind, it would be completely different. We'd send those fuckers packing.
