Answer:
The Annapolis Convention was a meeting in Annapolis, Maryland, of twelve delegates from five states (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia) who called for a constitutional convention. The defects they tried to remedy were the barriers that limited trade between states under the Articles of Confederation.
The convention met from September 11 to September 14, 1786. The commissioners believed that there were not enough states to do something substantive. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and North Carolina had appointed commissioners who failed to attend while Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia had not done anything.
A report was made and sent to Congress and the states. The report asked for help to meet the following May in Philadelphia. It hoped that more states could be represented and delegates could be authorized to examine issues other than trade.
The result of the report was the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia of 1787.
