Congress called for the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which had created a weak central government unable to effectively manage issues such as interstate commerce, taxation, and national defense. Delegates aimed to create a stronger federal structure that would balance power between the states and the national government. The convention ultimately resulted in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, establishing the framework for the federal government we have today.
