Some of the problems in the constitutional convention in 1787 was that of the 74 delegates chosen to attend this, only 55 were present. During the four months that they were there, they had to deal with problems such as the press, weather, and issues. By meeting with each other in order to create a new type of government, these people were basically trying to overthrow the government, which was the Articles of Confederation at that time. They had to keep it a secret even though each state knew that they were there in order to do so, legally, the states did not know if it could be done. They had to make an oath of secrecy. In order to keep things out of the press, they had to have 2 guards at each entrance. Their secrecy only made the press more curious. In the history of Philadelphia, that summer was the hottest summer. The average temperature was 98 degrees. These men were wearing wool and wigs. In between themselves, they also had friction. On some issues, such as representation based upon population, they were divided.
These people did it for free but were rewarded with their names written down in history.

The name of the constitutional convention called to address problems faced by the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation was just that - the Constitutional Convention. Participants included George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and others.
yes it is true
The weather during the Constitutional Convention, which took place from May to September 1787 in Philadelphia, was reportedly very hot and humid. This uncomfortable climate likely contributed to the challenges faced by delegates as they worked on drafting the United States Constitution.
The Constitutional Convention was called to amend the Articles of Confederation, the rules for the United States' first independent government. But when the fifty-five delegates attempted to amend the plan, they realized the task was impossible. The delegates scrapped the Articles of Confederation and secretly began working to devise an entirely new framework for government, the US Constitution.
The convention was the result of a campaign to reform the first charter of government of the United States, the Articles of Confederation. Throughout the 1780s, politicians who thought in national terms worried that the Confederation faced problems its government was too weak to solve.
The founding fathers had to settle the disagreement over states rights versus federal rights, and which has power over certain situations.
The nation faced serious economic and political problems. 100% sure of this answer
The most important challenge that the Constitutional Convention faced was deciding how strong the Central/National government should be and how the states would be represented in the new government.
