The Constitutional Convention, also known as the Philadelphia Convention, met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from May 25 to September 17, 1787. It is considered one of the most significant events in the history of the United States as it created the United States Constitution.

Of the 13 original states only Rhode Island did not send representatives. Twelve states appointed 70 individuals to the Constitutional Convention, only 55 attended and 39 signed the Constitution.

Benjamin Franklin was the oldest delegate at 81 years old. The youngest was Jonathan Dayton, representative from New Jersey, he was 26.

Franklin had written a speech that he planned giving on the last day of the Convention, Monday September 17, 1787, before the signing of the Constitution. He was too weak to deliver it and had James Wilson read it to the audience.

In the passage "Everyman", what does the passage imply about cousin?
Evgen [1.6K]

The correct answer is C, as Cousin is making excuses to avoid accompanying Everyman.

Everyman calls Kindred and Cousin and asks them to go with him on their journey to God, but both refuse to do so. Cousin explains a fundamental reason why nobody will join Everyman: people also have their own accounts to write, their own lives to develop.

While his reasons are true, in the story they work as an excuse of why he does not accompany Everyman.
