Could the delegates have just changed them instead of getting rid of them altogether?
Yes, the delegates could have chosen to amend or revise the existing provisions instead of eliminating them entirely. This approach would have allowed for the preservation of valuable aspects while addressing shortcomings. However, the decision to discard certain elements often reflects a desire for a more fundamental shift or a clean slate, which may be seen as necessary for achieving their broader goals. Ultimately, it depends on the specific context and objectives of the delegates at the time.

Who was at the Constitutional Convention?
There were 55 delegates, including George Washington (whom the delegates unanimously elected to chair the convention), Ben Franklin (the 'sage' of the convention, and, at 81, it's oldest member), Alexander Hamilton (later in the convention he was stripped of his vote when the other New York delegates left), and James Madison of Virginia (whose scrupulous notes would tell us of the proceedings of the Convention). Rhode Island did not send a delegate. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were not there because they were serving the country abroad, but they sent letters encouraging the delegates. Patrick Henry did not attend because he "smelt a rat" that the convention, which was purportedly only to revise the Articles of Confederation, would instead write an entirely new document creating a strong federal government "tending toward the monarchy." 39 delegates actually signed the Constitution.
