The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was originally intended for the states to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, when all the representatives assembled in Philadelphia, the convention quickly became a meeting on how to create a new government instead of fixing the current one. The Convention led to the writing of the US Constitution and thus, all three branches of the American government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.
