Hi! I’m taking U. S. History Honors in the 9th grade and we just reviewed this for the EOC!
The Constitutional Convention was necessary because the Articles of Confederation could not be revised or amended due to the fact that Rhode Island refused to send delegates. A unanimous decision was needed to make any amends to the government under the Articles of Confederation so the delegates decided to form a new government.

The delegates at the constitutional convention were both afraid that people were going to believe they were overthrowing their current government and determined to make changes to benefit their nation to preserve their fledgling country. They made sure to draft a constitution that had both a strong central government and a bill of rights (this was to appease anti-federalists who were afraid the new government would be too controlling or become corrupt) so the government could never take away what they termed “unalienable rights”.

Even if there is a stanza break in between, the lines are meant to be read continuously. For example, consider these lines from a poem by William Wordsworth called Beauteous Evening:
"The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility"
Here, Wordsworth is not intending that you pause after you read "Nun" or "sun." He wants you to read these lines as a continuous sentence or thought. Hope this helps.
