<em>B. Amend the Articles of the Confederation.</em>
Explanation:
The original goal of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to try to amend and make the Articles of Confederation stronger. Although this was the original plan, the Articles of Confederation ended up basically getting thrown away and the United States Constitution took its place.
The Articles of Confederation was known for being very weak. It gave little to no power to the federal government, which many people thought was needed. This meant that the government could not regulate trade, tax citizens, or create and enforce laws properly.
Many people opposed a new constitution, these people were called Anti-Federalists. They wanted a weak federal government, as many thought that if the government got power, the citizens would be abused and they would not have any say or rights in anything.
Eventually, people started getting fed up with the Articles of Confederation, people called Federalists, who wanted a new constitution, thought the Articles of Confederation was making America weaker and they needed something that had a strong government.
The Constitutional Convention in 1787 was finally called to try to fix the Articles of Confederation, but many people decided it was just too weak for their country and they needed something bigger and better.
