What event expose the weakness of the articles of confederation and forced a change?
Shay's Rebellion showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation because it showed how the inability to maintain a national military could be detrimental to the states. Because of this apparent weakness, it became necessary to revise (or eliminate) the Articles of Confederation.
What plan of government did US Congress adopt in November 1777?
The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777. However, ratification of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789.
What did the states do when it became apparent that the articles of confederation were not working what did they do?

Did the framers disregard their original purpose for meeting in Philadelphia?
Yes, No and Maybe:The stated intention of the Philadelphia Convention was to discuss and try to correct flaws in the Articles of Confederation. They certainly did that. Yes, some of the delegates may have gone there with no intention of repairing a flawed document (the Band Aid approach) and fully intending to create a new and stronger central government (the Major Surgery approach). As radical as big change may have seemed it quickly became apparent that something on a grander scale was needed to unite all of these former British Colonies. No, they did study and discuss the flaws in the Articles of Confederation and then they resolved to move beyond the fixer-upper approach. Maybe they went beyond the set guidelines of the Convention's limited agenda. Big ideas can sometimes evolve into grand documents like the United States Constitution.

What was the article of confederation?
The Articles of Confederation was the document that organized a "perpetual Union" among the 13 states that had declared independence. The Articles were in effect between March 1, 1781, and March 4, 1789, when they were superseded by the Constitution of the United States of America. Each colony had their own constitution, and over that was British Common Law and the Magna Carta. The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777. However, ratification of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781.

The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789. It was a document that was the predecessor to the Constitution and it made a very weak federal government with strong state governments.

What issue helped inspire the constitutional convention?
The control of commerce.The various states felt that they were independent of one another and had the right to tax goods of other states coming into their ports or across their borders. When Virginia asserted the right to seize vessels from other states as well as other countries that did not pay its import taxes, it became apparent that something had to be done. At first members of the states met in the Annapolis Convention to discuss commerce among the states, but it soon became apparent that no state wanted to relinquish its sovereignty. Congress then called for a convention ". . . for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation."Another incident was Shays' Rebellion in 1786 where citizens rebelled against taxation by the government of Massachusetts. George Washington was appalled that the federal government was powerless to stop such a rebellion that was almost exactly like the American Revolution, in which colonials rebelled against taxation by Great Britain.
Why did convention delegates decide t keep the proceedings secret?
The Constitutional Convention exceeded its authority in writing a new Constitution and it was feared that if deliberations on a new Constitution were to be found out, the Convention would be dissolved. The Convention was supposed to work out amendments to the Articles of Confederation that would keep that document in effect but improve on its inherent weaknesses. It was soon apparent to the delegates that saving the Articles of Confederation by amendment was hopeless, so they began to create a new form of government entirely. This was a task, the delegates had no authority to do.
Why did the founders believe a national government was necessary?
After the Revolutionary War, it was fairly obvious that the Articles of Confederation were not working. A convention was put together to create a central government that would treat each of the states equally.
