Answer:

With no single express purpose; some delegates thought minor reforms to the Articles would be implemented, some thought commercial disputes involving states wold be resolved, and some intended to scrap the Articles and start over, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The Constitutional Convention was an assembly which was organized to write a new constitution or revise the existing one. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 took place in the period between May 25 to September 17, 1787. Though the convention met to revise the existing constitution, the delegates such as James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York wanted to create a new government instead of fixing the existing constitution. Moreover, some of the delegates advocated for minor reforms, some tried to resolve the commercial disputes and some of the delegates tried to scrap the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, there was no single purpose of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

Why did the Catholic Church respond negatively to Copernicus and Galileo’s discoveries?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Because back then, the Catholic Church stated that the Earth had to be the center of the solar system because God is perfect, therefore made Earth perfect, causing it to be the center of everything. This was wrong. Galileo and Copernicus had shared that the Sun was actually the center, not the Earth. This contradicted with what the church said, therefore what "God" said. The church called them out for blasphemy and they had to deny their ideas.
