The revision or amending of existing articles of the confederation was the main reason for calling the constitutional convention of 1797. The Constitutional Convention (1797) which is also known as the Philadelphia Conference, or the Grand Conference of Philadelphia) took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 25 May to 14 September 14.

the answer is       political office  

hope this .
