Constitutional Convention
Most Americans agreed that the national government under the Articles of Confederation was way too weak
Delegates arrived in Philadelphia in May, 1787 to discuss how to solve these issues

The Major Issues
Every delegate thought changes needed to happen; just didn’t agree on how much Representation in Congress Slavery How strong the new national government should be
![Page 29: Shaping a New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813665550346895d9df401/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Representation in Congress
How would representatives be chosen? Would larger states be allowed more representatives? Should everyone get the same amount of votes? Was there any way to compromise?
![Page 30: Shaping a New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813665550346895d9df401/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Large States Liked. . .
Edmund Randolph’s Virginia Plan Bicameral legislature (House and Senate) Representation in both houses based on population

Small States Liked. . .
William Patterson’s New Jersey Plan Unicameral Congress (one house) Each state got the same number of votes
![Page 32: Shaping a New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813665550346895d9df401/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Great Compromise
![Page 33: Shaping a New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813665550346895d9df401/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Idea put forth by Roger Sherman of CTBicameral legislature (House and Senate)Number of Representatives for each state
based on populationEach state got two Senators
New Jersey Plan
- Unicameral
- Equal Rep.
Virginia Plan
-Bicameral
- Rep. based on pop.
Great Compromise
- Bicameral
- Representatives based on population
- Equal number of senators

Slavery
In order to increase their representation, Southern states wanted to count slaves in their populations.
Northern states disagreed; they did not want to count slaves in the population, but they did think that the South should have to pay taxes on them.
![Page 35: Shaping a New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813665550346895d9df401/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Three-Fifths Compromise Slaves would count as 3/5 of a regular person.
Taxes would be paid on all slaves. The writers of the Constitution were very careful
to not speak bad about slavery (this would’ve upset the South).

More Compromise, Please!
Both the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists published articles trying to persuade the American people
Each state voted on whether or not to ratify (pass) the Constitution
Only 9 states needed to ratify it; but in order for it to really be effective, all 13 states needed to ratify it

Constitution if a “Bill of Rights” were created to protect individual freedoms
