Question 1
The official purpose of the Constitutional Convention was to write the Bill of Rights.
(A) True
(B) False

B) False. The official purpose of the Constitutional Convention, held in Philadelphia in 1787, was to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and to create a new framework for the U.S. government. While the Bill of Rights was debated and discussed later, the Convention’s primary goal was to establish a stronger central government.

Many of the Founding Fathers, including James Madison and George Washington, realized the Articles were insufficient, leading them to draft the Constitution. It wasn’t until 1791 that the first ten amendments, which make up the Bill of Rights, were ratified to protect individual liberties.
