A quick definition of constitutional convention:

A Constitutional Convention is a special meeting where people come together to make or change the rules for how a country or organization works. It's like a big group project where everyone gets to share their ideas and work together to create something new. This type of convention is very important because it can change the way things are done for a long time. It's kind of like when you and your friends make up new rules for a game you like to play, but on a much bigger scale!

A more thorough explanation:

A Constitutional Convention is a special meeting where elected representatives come together to create, revise, or amend a constitution. It is also known as a constitutional assembly.

For example, in 1787, the United States held a Constitutional Convention to draft a new constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. The delegates who attended the convention were elected by their respective states to represent them in the process of creating a new constitution.

Another example is the 1994 South African Constitutional Convention, which was held to create a new constitution for the country after the end of apartheid.

These examples illustrate how a Constitutional Convention is a formal gathering of elected representatives who come together to create a new constitution or revise an existing one. It is an important process in the development of a country's legal and political system.
