The correct answer is C) replace the articles of the Confederation with an entirely new document.

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention decided to replace the articles of the Confederation with an entirely new document.

Many Americans new that the Articles of the Confederation had weaknesses and had to be modified. It served its purpose in some areas but by 1786 the general consensus was that the Articles should be adapted. Under the Articles, Congress had no power to regulate trade or to collect taxes. Congress depended on the money of the states neither had enough money to pay the Army.  

That is why the states' delegates met on May 25, 1787, in the Pennsylvania State House, in Philadelphia.
