The Constitutional Convention was a meeting held in Philadelphia in order to change the Articles of Confederation because they appeared to be weak because they did not have a strong central government. In the end, they decided to make a new set of laws for the government. This was called the Constitution. The people who supported the Constitution were called the Federalists and those who didn't support the Constitution were called Anti-Federalists. They argued that the government and the president had too much power.
Hope this helps.
