They realized this government wasn't as strong as it was meant to be, the central power was so weak that some of the state delegates didn't bother to show up to vote on the things they needed to vote on. Therefore they had to make a new constitution that was stronger than the last constitution.
The Shays rebellion which is where the farmers rebelled and didn't want to pay depts.
To strengthen the central government and to fix the problems in the consitution. So they all got together to fix the problems they were having. They wanted to make the perfect union.
To make sure none of the delegates got too much power within the government and to tell the people what their rights were and this made them happy.
