Question

a. to revise the articles of confederation and make a new constitution.
b. to draft a new set of laws to punish the rebellious states during shayss rebellion.
c. to meet in order to draft a document limiting the power of the king

Explanation:

The Constitutional Convention was called to revise the Articles of Confederation and create a new Constitution as the Articles had significant weaknesses in governing the United States. Shays' Rebellion highlighted the need for a stronger central - government, but it was not the direct reason for calling the convention. Drafting a document to limit the King's power is not relevant as the US was no longer under British rule by the time of the Constitutional Convention.

Answer:

A. To revise the Articles of Confederation and make a new Constitution.
