Answer 2

B) revise the Articles of Confederation.

• Representatives from 12 of the 13 states gathered on that Friday in New York City to vote on the proposals made in Philadelphia over the course of the summer and ratified on September 17, 1787.
• A report outlining the revised Constitution was offered for consideration. The Confederation Congress of the 12 states unanimously decided to send the revised Constitution to the states for ratification.
• To agree "in conformity to the resolves of the Convention," it was necessary for each state to call a convention "by the people."
• A conference was to be called in May 1787 for the "single and express purpose" of rewriting the Articles of Confederation, according to the original Confederation Congress resolution.

Hence, Congress called for a convention to be held in Philadelphia in 1787 in order to B) revise the Articles of Confederation.
