Samuel Johnson: Lexicographer

Adam Smith: Philosopher

Samuel Pepys: Diarist

Oliver Cromwell: Political leader

Details:

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) published <em>A Dictionary of the English Language </em>in 1755, after many years of work on the project. It was the most commonly used English dictionary until the <em>Oxford English Dictionary </em>was first published in 1928.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is best known for his economic theories, published in <em>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations </em>(1776). However, he also is well respected in the philosophical field of ethics, with his notable work in that area being <em>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </em>(1759).

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an administrator for the English navy and a member of Parliament. He is most famous, though, for a lengthy diary he kept for ten years of his life which provided thought and comments on events occurring at his time in history.

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was the leader of Parliament's movement against King Charles I, and the military leader against the king's forces in the English Civil War. He went on to run the Commonwealth of England after the king was deposed and executed. He later took up the title of Lord Protector of England.

Answer:

Explanation:

Constitutional Convention, (1787), in U.S. history, convention that drew up the Constitution of the United States. Stimulated by severe economic troubles, which produced radical political movements such as Shays’s Rebellion, and urged on by a demand for a stronger central government, the convention met in the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia (May 25–September 17, 1787), ostensibly to amend the Articles of Confederation. All the states except Rhode Island responded to an invitation issued by the Annapolis Convention of 1786 to send delegates. Of the 74 deputies chosen by the state legislatures, only 55 took part in the proceedings; of these, 39 signed the Constitution. The delegates included many of the leading figures of the period. Among them were George Washington, who was elected to preside, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, John Rutledge, Charles Pinckney, Oliver Ellsworth, and Gouverneur Morris.Constitutional Convention, (1787), in U.S. history, convention that drew up the Constitution of the United States.
