C. Preserving the Articles of the Confederation
Delegates deemed necessary to draft a new Constitution because of the inefficiency of the current one at the moment: The Articles of the Confederation, which had been proved to be incompetence for the times the U.S. was going through, for example it did not establish a central government strong enough who had enforcement powers to lead the nation (such as collecting taxes).
Instead, the issues that the delegates were concerned about during the process of changing the Constitution were focused on changing the old one, and a series of issues involving options A, B, and D.
