Answer:
To strengthen the central government.
Explanation:
The federalists argued that the Articles of Confederation weakened the Congress of its power and sovereignity. Though Congress was endowed with numerous powers on paper, in reality the Articles rendered no real power to the Congress.
This was seen as a major threat by the federalists so they demanded for a new charter called The Constitution to strengthen the central government/Congress. The federalists finally concluded the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and a the US Constitution was drafted.
I agree.
First, let's take a look at the beginning of the Gettysburg Address:
"Fourscore and seven years ago our father's brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, concieved in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..."
(This is off the top of my head so please forgive me if I missed a few words or punctuation.)
When writing this, Abraham Lincoln was giving the citizens of the United States a bit of a history lesson. He explains that the Founding Fathers believed "all men were created equal" and implicitly states that him and everyone else share a common ancestor when he says, "...our fathers."
With that, let me explain why I wholeheartedly agree that "We the People," is the most important phrase in the Constitution:
That small excerpt from the Preamble creates a sense of togetherness, liberty, and suprisingly, justice. Before America gained it's independence, there was no "We the People." There was a monarch who did as he wished. There wasn't any so called, "free speech" and there certainly wasn't a sense of togetherness. Once 'Merica cut ties with the Tories and gained independence, they had to establish their own government. So the Founding Father's, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, upheld a government that is not a monarchy but a democracy. A democracy is a "government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives." In England, you Americans did not have that choice of electing individuals to rule. You did not have a choice as a people. Well in America, you/we were granted freedom and free speech. And now that "we the people" are all "created equal" we can look back to those first three words of the Preamble and see the important history behind them.
<span>Once the Constitution of the United States was written in 1787 at the Philadelphia convention, the next step was ratification. This is the formal process, outlined in Article VII, which required that nine of the thirteen states had to agree to adopt the Constitution before it could go into effect</span>

As in any debate there were two sides, the <em>Federalists who supported ratification and the Anti-Federalists who did not</em>.
We now know that the Federalists prevailed, and the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, and went into effect in 1789.
