Answer 2

Answer:

Then grand convention was hold in orde to deal with the different political issues the Union was facing

Explanation:

After the American revolution, setting a new and stable goverment was not easy for the Founders. First of all, After the war against Great Britain finished, the different states started to look to their own interests instead of focusing on creating a common goal. This is why, even though a Congress of Confederation was created as part of the institutions to rule the Confederation as a whole, there always were disagreements between the states and the Confederation goverment which eventually could not be born resulting in major political tensions and even in revolts like Shay's rebelion led by the former Revolucionary War captain Daniel Shays. All those problems required a special attention which concluded with the call to the grand convention to address them.
