because
This convention convened to write the Constitution of the USA.
To discuss Shays’s Rebellion in Massachusetts
Because a convention is not needed to make an amendment. That is the beauty of the constitution.
The constitutional convention was convened and the following states voted for radification: Deleware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
The Annapolis Convention of 1786 was convened to address the critical issues of trade and commerce among the states under the Articles of Confederation. Delegates from five states gathered to discuss problems related to economic instability and interstate trade barriers. The convention ultimately recognized the need for a stronger federal government, leading to the call for a broader Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia the following year. This set the stage for the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
If you mean state conventions, then no, the 18th amendment was passed by these conventions, enacted Prohibition. However, a national convention has never been convened to approve an amendment.
Delegates convened the Constitutional Convention to establish a better government and update ideas found in the Articles of Confederation. A growing population as well as lack of control over changing territories were major factors in choosing to meet in 1787.
The delegates left the Hartford Convention on January 5, 1815. The convention convened in December 1814 to discuss grievances related to the War of 1812 and the political power of the Federalist Party. By the time the delegates departed, the war was coming to an end, which diminished the urgency of their discussions. Ultimately, the convention's resolutions were largely overlooked, and the Federalist Party declined in influence afterward.
The Constitutional Convention convened in 1787 primarily to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which had created a loose confederation of states with a weak central government. Delegates from twelve states gathered in Philadelphia to discuss the need for a stronger federal structure. Ultimately, the convention resulted in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which established a more robust federal government with a system of checks and balances among three branches. This new framework significantly enhanced the powers of the national government while still protecting states' rights.
The initial Constitutional Convention was convened to discuss the issues in governing the country. Prior to the convention, the United States had only been operating under the Articles of Confederation. While some attended with thoughts of simply revising the Articles, others knew that an entirely different and more complete document was required.
