Some delegates opposed to the people electing their representatives in Congress because people elect lower houses and if they have too much power then people can easily accept harmful ideas. The text states,” we have experienced are the result of too much power for the people — like Shays’ Rebellion in Massachusetts, where it was proven that people are easily misled to accept harmful ideas circulated by conniving men.” This is why some delegates opposed to the people electing their representatives in Congress. 

2. Some delegates want the people to elect their representatives in Congress because they believe the government won’t long last without people’s support. Government needs people support. The text states,” Passionately defended that the larger and more powerful chamber or house of Congress should be directly elected by the people because without support of the people, no American government will last long. Incidents like Shays’ Rebellion are proof of the need for more democratic government, instead of proof that we need to limit democracy.” This is why some delegates want the people to elect their representatives in Congress. ]]> 2020-08-21 12:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691180586 1. considered the equality of votes under the Confederation as a major source of difficulty for that government, with each member of Congress serving as nothing more than an advocate for local advantages https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691180919 2.  He hoped to persuade the small states that their fears were unnecessary, but they only insist on equal representation in any and all cases.]]> 2020-08-21 12:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691180919 Ethan Richard (Issue 4) 40007042 https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691183976 1.

The main argument used to justify allowing the slave trade is that the states are the best judge of what is best for them, that individual states should decide if they want to continue to trade slaves or not. Mr. Ellsworth (Connecticut) said he "Supported allowing the slave trade to continue because states were capable of debating the wisdom and morality of slavery on their own. While he did believe that the states are the best judges of the interests of their people." https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691184392
2. One criticism was that states in the North are already passing laws to slowly end the slave trade. This means that this delegate believes states should just let it take its course and the slave trade will end in time with the laws being slowly passed to end the trade.]]> 2020-08-21 12:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691184392 1. One reason some delegates gave for thinking state legislatures would be best qualified to select the president is that a state legislature would be able to represent the community as a whole and be the voice for the people. They distrusted the people because they had concerns that the people would simply prefer candidates from their own area or region. 30003574 https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691184453 2.

Some delegates were opposed to the people electing their representatives in congress because it gave the people too much power in the democracy. Mr. Gerry thought, "many problems we have experienced are the result of too much power of the people", he believes that if people are given that much power again, then issues will arise again like Shay's Rebellion.

2. Some delegates wanted the people to elect their representatives in congress because without the support of the people, a government will not last and therefore the people must be involved. As Mr. Wilson said, "without support of the people, no American government will last long. Incidents like Shays' Rebellion are proof of the need for more democratic government", which means that the United States cannot be a peaceful country without a more democratic government in place.]]> 2020-08-21 12:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691189499 https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691191738 1.  The delegate from Pennsylvania said that all states should be equal.

Some reasons delegates had for thinking state legislatures would be best qualified to select the president are the legislatures would select the candidate the people want, to retain the election by the people.

Some objections delegates had to allowing the state legislatures select the president are the increasing power in government which can go unchecked, that his is a democracy and the people need to have some vote within, some legislatures would pick only what is best for there state not the nation, and the most important reason, state legislatures would only pick men who promised to serve the states agenda without much motivation to pick a candidate committed to serving the national interest, meaning thee not truly devoted to running the nation but only to be the face people put the united states to. https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691212864 2020-08-21 12:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/apneal/1y101ajlayv82hsj/wish/691212864 1.
