The political problems that plagued the 13 states set the stage for the Constitutional Convention. The original purpose was to amend the Articles of Confederation, though some delegates, such as James Madison, wanted a national government.

Answer: political, Constitutional Convention, Articles of Confederation, and national government

Explanation:

The convention was to discuss the failure of the Articles of Confederation and to take steps towards its improvisation by making solid amendments to it. The national government was believed to be very weak.

And thus, desired by thinkers like James Madison to be strengthened enough to have a say over the decisions taken by the state governments.
