What event happened that made people think the Articles of Confederation needed to be changed?
The US did not have an actual national government under the Articles, which retained the sovereignty of the states and required them to cooperate in practically every aspect. This was always difficult and sometimes impossible. There was no executive except the President of Congress, no standing military, and no unified system of courts. The framers decided that the nation needed a stronger unifying force, and the weaknesses of the Articles had already vexed them for more than 7 years.
Why were the Articles of Confederation replaced?
The Articles of Confederation were eliminated and replaced by the US Constitution. The additions added to the US Constitution which were absent within the Articles of Confederation include consenting powers, the type of national government, the division of powers in the national government, the mode of representation in the national government, power of congress, national government revenue raising, enforcement of federal laws, judiciary and resolution of cases and conflicts, prohibitions of congress, prohibitions and requirements of the states, and amendment capabilities.

What is the Constitutional Convention of 1787 called?
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called in order to consider amendments to the Articles of Confederation, not to write another Constitution entirely. During deliberations over amendments to the Articles, it was realized that the Articles could not be patched up to make them workable. The framers began to think in terms of a completely different approach to a national government and created the Constitution. One irony is that some of the states never would have sent delegations to the Convention if they knew the Framers were going to create a whole new system instead of fixing the old one.State house, Philadelphia, PA. There is a copy of it at Knox Berry Farm in LA.
What was the original purpose of the constitutional convention held in may 1787 in Philadelphia's independence hall?
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.

What document preceded the constitution?
Before the United States Constitution, the Articles of Confederation were used to govern the United States. Their greatest weakness is that, under them, the Federal Government had no power. It could make laws and decisions, but it had no way to ensure that they were enforced.
What were the successes of the articles of confederation?
There really were no successes of the Articles of Confederation. The only thing I can think of would be our ideas that transferred over to the Declaration. Mainly, the articles were a huge flop in our history. Sorry I couldn't give you what you wanted.
Why was the contitutional convention called?
I'm not actually sure this answer is right. Just out of reading several articles I think I know what the answer is:As the delegates made the Constitution, it was set it stone, "framed". Not framed in the sense that people think it committed a crime it didn't. More as you would frame a picture or a document. Thus, they were called Framers.
