Explanation:

A. Why did the state delegations meet in Philadelphia?

A convention of delegates from all the states except Rhode Island met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in May of 1787. Known as the Constitutional Convention, at this meeting it was decided that the best solution to the young country's problems was to set aside the Articles of Confederation and write a new constitution.

B. What is the significance (in the Constitution) of the colored hyperlinked text?

The significance of the colored hyperlinked text is to allow us to share our lives and information with each other for the good of the society.

C. Has the Amendment process changed much of the the original constitution?

The Framers added a process for amending, or changing, the Constitution in Article V. Since 1789, the United States has added 27 amendments to the Constitution. An amendment is a change to the Constitution. The first ten amendments to the Constitution became known as the Bill of Rights.
