To?
 

I've read this sentence usign "to". Would "of" be incorrect?

It's a document written by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention.

:confused:

Presumably, the various states send delegates to the Constitutional Conference, so to is correct. But also the CC consists of delegates, so they are part of it, so I would say of is also correct. (But someone from over there should comment :thinking:)

OK, I'll wait. Thanks. :)

Edit: sent or send? ;)

Ah - I guess this conference no longer exists. I was thinking of their presidential selection procedure. sent. :o

I prefer of, because to is ambiguous.

De acuerdo con Poli. :twocents:

"...delegates at the conference." would also be correct.

Irma - I think that either would be correct, depending on the context. Can you give the one or two sentences that come before this one?

I don't have the notes here. On Monday I'll see.

But thanks. :)

I agree with Lou Ann.
