The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- Delegates elected George Washington of Virginia, former commanding general of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War and a proponent of a stronger national government, to serve as president of the convention.
- While the Constitutional Convention has been the only Federal one, the fifty states have held 233 constitutional conventions.
