on january 21, 1786, the virginia legislature, following james madison's recommendation, invited all the states to send delegates to annapolis, maryland to discuss ways to reduce interstate conflict. at what came to be known as the annapolis convention, the few state delegates in attendance endorsed a motion that called for all states to meet in philadelphia in may 1787 to discuss ways to improve the articles of confederation in a "grand convention." although the states' representatives to the constitutional convention in philadelphia were only authorized to amend the articles, the representatives held secret, closed-door sessions and wrote a new constitution. the new constitution gave much more power to the central government, but characterization of the result is disputed. the general goal of the authors was to get close to a republic as defined by the philosophers of the age of enlightenment, while trying to address the many difficulties of the interstate relationships. historian forrest mcdonald, using the ideas of james madison from "federalist 39", describes the change this way:
