The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and adopted in what city?

Independence Hall is where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The building was completed in 1753 as the colonial legislature (later Pennsylvania State House) for the Province of Pennsylvania. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. The building is part of Independence National Historical Park and is listed as a World Heritage Site.

I’m confused Judy Wagner Bechtold....how could a signer (Hewes) of the Declaration of Independence be your husband’s UNCLE??!! He died 240 years ago. So, he’d have to be a great, great, great uncle at the very least.

All happened in Boswash - the megolopolis of Boston and Washington and everything in between. The midwesterners answer to me calling their land "fly-over"
