What was the meeting of state delegates in 1787 which led to the writing of the U.S. Constitution called?

• A. Constitutional Convention
• B. First Continental Congress
• C. Continental Congress
• D. Congress Of The United States

Answer: (C)

The meeting in 1787 that produced the U.S. Constitution is known as the Constitutional Convention, sometimes called the Philadelphia Convention. Delegates from the states gathered to revise the Articles of Confederation, but they ended up drafting a new framework for the national government—the Constitution. Earlier gatherings like the First Continental Congress (1774) and the Continental Congress (1774–1781) were focused on coordinating steps during the Revolutionary era, not on drafting the constitutional framework. The phrase Congress Of The United States isn’t the name of a specific 1787 gathering.
