The delegates of the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 originally met to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which had created a federal government that was ineffective in managing issues such as interstate commerce and national defense. Their aim was to revise the existing framework; however, as discussions progressed, they ultimately decided to draft an entirely new Constitution that would establish a stronger central government. The convention sought to balance power between the states and the federal government while ensuring individual liberties.
because, under federalism, they could create a new central government that would be strong enough to meet the nations needs and, at the same time, preserve the strength of the existing states.
