The Articles of Confederation needed revising because it was not what the new founding country needed. The government could not tax. They could not control the trade between people. They also were afraid of tyranny. Which was the fear of another king. So there was no one leader. When delegates from the states met on May, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were to fix the articles. But there was no fixing. Instead, they wrote the constitution. The delegates from the states stayed confidential in the one room in Philadelphia. In the hottest months of the summer with the windows and shutters closed because they did not want to let people know about this and people get mad. Also they kept the windows closed because they did not want the flies to come in.
They wanted to make a stronger federal government.
Because the members thought that it would give too much power to the government.
The event that led to the constitutional convention, was the articles of confederation
The purpose of the Constitutional Convention was to fix problems in the Articles of Confederation, however, the delegates ended up writing the United States Constitution. The US Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788.
The Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Articles of Confederation were ultimately abandoned by our four fathers and the US Constitution was written.

In a sense.The Constitutional Convention, in itself, did not replace the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was created at the Convention and it was based upon some of the ideals that the Articles of Confederation had, but had changed many things.So, in a sense, no. The Constitutional Convention did notreplace the Articles of Confederation, but the Constitution that was created then did.
