The members of the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention originally met to reform the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were the guidelines for the first national government of the United States. However, they were weak and did not give enough power to the national government so that it was able to hold all of the separate states together. That is why they wanted to reform it. When they started the convention, they discovered that since the Articles of Confederation were so fundamentally flawed it would be better to just come up with an entirely new form of government. So they created the Constitution of the United States of America, which is still used today.
The purpose was to produce a document to replace or modify the Articles of Confederation as the governing document for the recently established United States of America. The states decided that the Articles were unworkable and needed a fundamental "law of the land". The convention chose to discard the Articles and start from scratch.
