Create an invitation to invite the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention. On your invitation, explain why they need to a
Tems11 [23]

Gentlemen

In view of the desire that we all have in building a strong and unbeatable nation, I have the honor to cordially invite you to the Constitutional Convention, where we will discuss the negative points of the Articles of Confederation and the need to create a new document, where these points repaired.

The articles of the confederation do not allow our beloved congress to have sufficient power to apply the necessary guidelines in our territory, in addition the articles keep the congress economically deficient, which confronts our army, deregulates our trade and does not make us a unified country, united and responsible. I believe that this goes against the reasons that made us fight for our independence and ends up leaving us in a situation as weakened as the one we had before in the hands of the British empire.

However, I recognize the concern of some of you to modify the articles, for this reason, your presence at the convention is so important, because we will be able to listen to you and discuss all the impressions and wishes of delegate, reaching a better conclusion on this subject .

Regarding the trip, we recognize that the journey can be expensive, but remember that our country is in our hands and the decisions we make now will be crucial for our future and should justify the reason for our separation from the English domain.

For this reason, I strongly urge you to respond to the invitation and that together we can form the unbeatable nation that we owe to America.
