What is the National Constitutional Convention?
A constitutional convention is now a gathering for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. A general constitutional convention is called to create the first constitution of a political unit or to entirely replace an existing constitution. An unlimited constitutional convention is called to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper, whereas a limited constitutional convention is restricted to revising only the areas of the current constitution named in the convention's call, the legal mandate establishing the convention. Examples of constitutional conventions include:United States: Annapolis Convention (1786), which proposed what became the Philadelphia Convention (1787) -- Drafted the United States Constitution for ratification by the states. Article V of the constitution sets forth a mechanism whereby future constitutional conventions can be held. The constitution has been amended several times since the Philadelphia Convention, but never (as of 2011) by this method.France: The National Convention of 1792 (commonly referred to as The Convention) convened during The French Revolution on September 20 with the purpose of writing a Republican Constitution following the suspension of the French Monarchy. The monarchy was officially abolished on September 21 by The Convention.Missouri Constitutional Convention (1861-63), established Missouri's provisional government during the American Civil WarCanada: (1864), Quebec Conference, 1864, and London Conference of 1866.Australian constitutional conventions -- 1891, 1897, 1973 and 1998.Germany: ParlamentRat (Parliamentary Council) (1948) -- Drafted the Basic Law of the Federal Republic for ratification by the londonNorthern Ireland Constitutional Convention (1975--1976) -- a failed attempt to find a solution to the status of Northern Ireland.Scottish Constitutional Convention (1989) -- produced a plan for Scottish devolution.European Convention (2001) -- Drafted the Constitution for Europe for approval by the European Council and ratification by the member states.Philippine Constitutional Convention 1935 -- to draft a constitution to create the autonomous Commonwealth of the Philippines under the U.S. Act.

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.

What was constitutional convention supposed to meet and what did they do instead?
The Constitutional Convention was originally convened in May 1787 to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and to revise the existing governmental framework. However, delegates quickly decided to create an entirely new Constitution, resulting in the establishment of a stronger federal government. Over the course of several months, they debated and crafted a document that included a system of checks and balances and delineated the powers of the different branches of government. The outcome was the United States Constitution, which was ratified in 1788.
