By 1787, it became clear to many in the United States the Articles of Confederation was not providing an adequate structure for our government. The structural flaws in form of government the Articles provided for became evident soon after its ratification. States often went there own ways, and the Federal government was too weak to be effective.

People such as James Madison, Ben Franklin, and George Washington began calling for a new form of government with a stronger national government.

There was no one person who picked Philadelphia. It was the largest and most important city in the Americas and was fairly centrally located for many of the delegates. Also the first and second continental congresses met there.
