The purpose of the Grand Convention was to adress(solve) problems going on at that time.
The initial Constitutional Convention was convened to discuss the issues in governing the country. Prior to the convention, the United States had only been operating under the Articles of Confederation. While some attended with thoughts of simply revising the Articles, others knew that an entirely different and more complete document was required.
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called in order to consider amendments to the Articles of Confederation, not to write another Constitution entirely. During deliberations over amendments to the Articles, it was realized that the Articles could not be patched up to make them workable. The framers began to think in terms of a completely different approach to a national government and created the Constitution. One irony is that some of the states never would have sent delegations to the Convention if they knew the Framers were going to create a whole new system instead of fixing the old one.State house, Philadelphia, PA.

revise the Articles of Confederation
No, as of now, no constitutional amendment has been ratified by a convention called for by the states. All amendments to the U.S. Constitution have been ratified either by state legislatures or by state conventions specifically called for that purpose. The process of state conventions for ratification remains untested, and the only instances of such conventions have occurred during the initial drafting of the Constitution itself.
Probably, but the initial '0' is missing. If you are calling the number from within the UK you need that '0', if you are calling from another country you don't.
formulating the initial idea for the policy
The majority of the Founders were Federalists who believed in a strong national government. Many of these people also wanted a firm Bill of Rights that would outline all the rights of a United States citizen.
The Articles of Confederation were written by one representative from each colony. John Dickinson, the delegate from Delaware, was the principal writer. The Constitution was written as a group effort by the men who were present at the Constitutional Convention (55 delegates appointed by the states). The "Father of the Constitution" is known as James Madison, as he sketched the initial draft.
The initial goal of the Grand Convention in 1778 was to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and to create a more effective national government. Delegates aimed to resolve issues related to governance, interstate relations, and economic stability, ultimately seeking to strengthen the union among the states. This gathering laid the groundwork for the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which established a federal system with a stronger central authority.
