Why did the state delegates meet in 1787? to discuss a better system of government to elect George Washington as president to write the Articles of Confederation to collect taxes to pay the nation’s debt

The main reason why the state delegates met in 1787 was "to discuss a better system of government," since it was clear by this time that the Articles of Confederation were failing.
