Constitutional Convention of 1934

The Constitutional Convention of 1934 was a gathering of delegates to revise the U.S. Constitution, aiming to address economic and political issues of the time, especially during the Great Depression. Held in Chicago, the convention sought to modernize governance and expand federal powers to better respond to economic crises. However, it ultimately failed to produce a new constitution, as opposition from states and concerns over federal authority led to its dissolution. The convention played a significant role in shaping discussions about government reform, even though no constitutional changes resulted from it.
