Drafting the Final Document

John Rutledge

John Rutledge

The Constitutional Convention adjourned to await the report of the Committee of Detail, which was to produce a first draft of the Constitution. It was chaired by John Rutledge (nicknamed "Dictator John" as a reflection of the extraordinary power he had assumed as South Carolina's governor during the early days of the Revolution).
