Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The constitution was revised in 1834 to update the court system and address some of the problems in the original constitution. By 1834, Tennessee’s population was more than 6 times greater than the population in 1796, reaching almost 700, 000.

Detailed explanation-2: -The new constitution provided for a state supreme court with three judges, one from each section of the state. The marked establishment of the judiciary allowed the counties to create a true court system, such as County Chancery Courts and other courts of local jurisdiction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The convention delegates never intended to present the Constitution to the citizens for ratification. Instead, the delegates hurried to finish the Constitution in order to present a copy to Congress before their spring adjournment.

Detailed explanation-4: -What makes this Constitutional Convention remarkable is that the 55 delegates in attendance were both young and experienced. The average age of the delegates was 42 and four of the most influential delegates–Alexander Hamilton, Edmund Randolph, Gouverneur Morris and James Madison–were in their thirties.
