Answer (2)

The Constitutional Convention met in 1787 to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and create the U.S. Constitution. It included representatives from all 13 states except Rhode Island and held its meetings in secrecy to encourage open debate. The convention was not intended to simply ratify the Articles of Confederation, but to develop a new governing framework. ;

The Constitutional Convention took place in 1787, not 1790, in Philadelphia. It included representatives from all 13 states except Rhode Island and aimed to create a new Constitution rather than just ratifying the Articles of Confederation. Meetings were held in secrecy to promote open discussion among the delegates.
