The Constitutional Convention was called
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation and the Perpetual Union, known as the Articles of the Confederation, constituted the first government document of the United States of America. They were approved by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, after several months of debate. It was a non-binding guideline until its ratification four years later, on March 1, 1781. The Articles of Confederation are considered one of the four founding documents of the North American nation.
The Shays Rebellion was an armed uprising in Massachusetts, mainly in and around Springfield in 1786 and 1787. The American veteran of the United States War of Independence Daniel Shays led four thousand rebels (called shaysites) in a protest against the perceived economic and civil injustices. Shays was a farmer from Massachusetts at the start of the War of Independence; He joined the Continental Army, participated in the battles of Lexington and Concord, Battle of Bunker Hill and Saratoga Battles, and was finally wounded in combat.
The Philadelphia Convention (also known as the Constitutional Convention, the Federal Convention and the Grand Convention of Philadelphia) was held between May 14 and September 17, 1787, to resolve the problems of United States government, which it had been functioning according to the Articles of Confederation after its independence from Great Britain. Although the idea of the Convention was only to revise the Articles of Confederation, the intention of many of its proponents, mainly James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, was to create a new government instead of "fixing" the one that already existed. The delegates elected George Washington to preside over the convention. The result of the Convention was the Constitution of the United States of America. The convention is one of the central events in the history of the United States.
