The initial purpose of the Constitutional Convention was to amend the Articles of Confederation.
The initial purpose of the Constitutional Convention was to amend the Articles of Confederation, which was the governing document of the United States at the time. However, during the convention, it became apparent that the Articles of Confederation were fundamentally flawed and needed to be completely replaced rather than just amended. Therefore, the main outcome of the Constitutional Convention was the writing of a new constitution, which ultimately replaced the Articles of Confederation as the supreme law of the land.
So, the correct answer is C - to amend the articles of the constitution.
