Answer (3)

Rhode Island chose not to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Rhode Island was distrustful of the creation of a strong federal government at the Constitutional Convention that could potentially attempt to control Rhode Island which was a small state. As a result of this Rhode Island initially boycotted the Convention as a political statement against the creation of a strong federal government.

Rhode Island was the state that chose not to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 due to its distrust of a strong federal government. This absence reflected concerns for the state's autonomy and interests. Rhode Island ultimately ratified the Constitution later, in 1790.
