They met in Philadelphia because they wanted to revise the weakened Articles of Confederation. Instead they ended up re-writing the Constitution.
During America's Founding Period, the Articles of Confederation of 1781 served as one of the primary bases for the writing and ratification of the Constitution from 1787 to 1789. In numerous particular ways (for example, the membership and powers of Congress), the Articles provided key touch-points by which the Constitution would be drafted.
The anti federalists said the constitution was an illegal document because they said that the delegates had only been authorized to repair the articles of confederation, not make a new document, so it was not a legal document.

Writing of the U.S. Constitution
During America's Founding Period, the Articles of Confederation of 1781 served as one of the primary bases for the writing and ratification of the Constitution from 1787 to 1789. In numerous particular ways (for example, the membership and powers of Congress), the Articles provided key touch-points by which the Constitution would be drafted.
Several documents were important to the writing of the US Constitution. For example, the Magna Carta, The Articles of Confederation, the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government and Edward Coke's Institutes of the Laws of England.

Legality of the actual writing of the Constitution (conference was actually supposed to be used to revise the articles, but instead was clandestine and involved the writing of an entirely new document)
