The Constitutional Convention - @MrBettsClass

In the argument between the different types of government people wanted, there was mainly two groups- federalists and anti-federalists. Federalists wanted a strong national government, wanted a constitution, didn't think a Bill Of Rights was necessary, and one of their main leaders was Alexander Hamilton. On the other hand, anti-federalists wanted a strong state government, they were against a constitution, they wouldn't support having a constitution unless it had a Bill Of Rights, and one of their main leaders was George Mason.

Delegates from the North and the South were disagreeing over the issue of trade and its control. The North wanted the federal government to control trade because they were more industrial. But of course the South was scared that the control of the trade would harm the sale of slaves and the export of their agricultural products. But then all was well when the Commerce Compromise was put into play. The Commerce Compromise was when the North agreed to wait 20 years to ban slave trade, which in the end resolved the problem

Both the South and the North had trouble deciding how to count slaves in the population. Of course since how large your population was meant how many representatives you got, there was a big argument. The South had a plan and their plan was they wanted to count slaves as part of the population for representation but not for taxes( higher population= more representatives). But the North also had a plan where they wanted slaves to be counted for taxes but not for representation( they wanted the South to get taxed more because they were afraid slaves would give the South an advantage in the House Of Representatives). Then the  Constitutional Convention came up with a solution which was called the 3/5 compromise. The 3/5 compromise was where slaves would be counted as 3/5 of a person for representation and taxes(basically 5 slaves= 3 people in representation and taxes).

The Congress was the lawmaking body of the government. And the Congress was faced with a tough decision on how to govern. There was the Virginia Plan where everything was based on large state population and wanted number of representatives to be based on population. But the New Jersey Plan was where there would be an equal number of representatives for each state and the small states would be equal to the large states. Then they passed The Great Compromise. The Great Compromise created a two house Congress, one part was the Senate and the other part was the House Of Representatives. It was a bicameral government and it worked for both sides of the argument. The Senate was like the New Jersey Plan, and the House Of Representatives was like the Virginia Plan.

The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was where the constitution was written, and it was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 55 representatives attended the convention, and George Washington was elected leader of the convention. The different factions of the convention was small states versus large states, slavery versus no slavery, and strong central government versus weak central government.
