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.

The original purpose of the 1787 Philadelphia Convention was to address and resolve the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which had created a loose confederation of states with a weak central government. Delegates aimed to improve the governance of the newly formed United States by discussing issues such as taxation, trade regulation, and national defense. However, the discussions ultimately led to the drafting of a new Constitution, establishing a stronger federal government.
