Answer: To talk about the Constitution and be able to go out side without fear of being mobbed

Explanation: I read it in a history book.

Hope this helps : D

(P.S. I promise I did not copy that other guy, I'm just saying exactly what the book said).

To encourage delegates to make arguments without fear of recrimination and to discourage mob action in the city, those in attendance kept their deliberations secret during their lifetimes and did not inform the public of the resulting document until September 17, after most of the delegates had signed on to it.
