What was the original purpose of the constitutional convention held in may 1787 in Philadelphia's independence hall?
The original purpose of the 1787 Philadelphia Convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation, the first document outlining the operation of the United States national government. The Articles of Confederation lacked provisions for a federal court system, fair representation of the states in Congress, and a President. Many of the 55 delegates at the Convention finally concluded there was no way to patch the old system, so they secretly rewrote the plan for government in the US Constitution. The Philadelphia Convention later became known as the Constitutional Convention.

Did James Madison preside over the Articles of Confederation?
Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government was the Confederation Congress (the same body as the "Continental Congress" but renamed under the Articles). There was no chief executive but the Congress did have a presiding officer: the "President of the United States in Congress Assembled". The position was one that presided over the Congress - not the United States. He acted as the chair when Congress was in session - running the meetings and keeping order. He also chaired the Committee of the States, which was charged with overseeing commerce, trade, education and issues as delegated by Congress - and which met only once, had a major argument, and never met again. Presidents of the Congress were:Samuel HuntingtonThomas McKeanJoen HansonElias BoudinotThomas MifflinRichard Henry LeeJohn Hancock (also famous for his big signature on the Declaration of Independence)Nathaniel GorhamArthur St. ClairCyrus GriffinAt the instigation of James Madison, Virginia invited all the rest of the states to a convention in Annapolis, Maryland in 1876 to discuss interstate problems. From that meeting another convention was called for Philadelphia in 1787 - which became the Constitutional Convention where the US Constitution was drafted. Although Madison was instrumental in getting all this organized, he never presided over any of the meetings.
