Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delegates gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 to amend the Articles of Confederation, which governed the newly formed United States but were found to be inadequate in providing a strong centralized government. The Declaration of Independence was written and adopted in 1776, while seceding from Great Britain occurred during the American Revolution. Abolishing state laws was not the primary purpose of the Philadelphia Convention in 1787.
