Colonial leaders met in Philadelphia in May of 1787 to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and to create a stronger federal government. This gathering, known as the Constitutional Convention, aimed to draft a new constitution that would establish a more effective framework for governance. The delegates sought to balance state and federal powers, address issues such as taxation and commerce, and ensure a system of checks and balances among the branches of government. Ultimately, their discussions and compromises led to the creation of the United States Constitution.
