sep 11, 1786 - Annapolis Convention

Description:

The Annapolis Convention, held in 1786 in Annapolis, Maryland, was a national political conference attended by representatives from five of the thirteen original states. It was convened to address issues related to trade and commerce among the states, but due to low attendance, it ended with a recommendation for a subsequent convention to amend the Articles of Confederation, leading directly to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia.
