Did George Washington keep a journal for each meeting of the Constitution?

In: George Washington [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, it doesn't seem he did. James Madison took notes and wrote down everything that was said in the convention. Due to his efforts we know what happened and who did/said what and what were the issues. When Madison died he was the last of the founding fathers who was in the convention and from that time to today we can only guess or speculate what was meant and the reasons of why they wrote a particular thing.
