The Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia from May to September of 1787. Delegates from the different colonies came here to discuss the problems facing the government of the United States. From this convention, the U.S. Constitution emerged and was adopted.
Some of the disagreements at the constitutional convention were that the delegates didn't want to make a whole new form of government. They didn't want it to be to strong or weak so that one state was more superior than the other. The delegates resolved this by doing more than just revising the Articles of Confederation and wrote a whole new constition.

No, not every state participated in the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia in 1787. While twelve states sent delegates, Rhode Island chose not to attend, fearing that a stronger national government would undermine its sovereignty. The convention ultimately led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which required ratification by all thirteen states.
