Answer:

They wanted to be able to freely speak their minds

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of secrecy gave the delegates the freedom to disagree, sometimes vehemently(in a forceful, passionate, or intense manner; with great feeling.), on important issues, and to do so without the posturing and pandering to public opinion that so often marks political debate today
