There were 55 delegates attending, one of which was George Washington, leader of the convention. There were two sides of the convention: small states vs. large states. ]]> 2018-11-05 19:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/300680886 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/300684431 When the delegates came together to organize a new congress they had trouble deciding how many representatives each state should get. While the large states wanted representation to be based on a states population, the smaller states did not want this because it would weaken them. ]]> 2018-11-05 19:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/300684431 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301175161 2018-11-06 19:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301175161 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301177417 2018-11-06 19:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301177417 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301179227 There were two plans. The Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan worked in the large states favor because it wanted representation based on population. The New Jersey plan was in the small states favor. It wanted all states to have equal representation; this way, the larger states did not have too much power. ]]> 2018-11-06 19:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301179227 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301179814 The compromise that solved the states disagreement was called the Great Compromise.

There were two main reasons the population was important. The first being that it determined how many representatives the states would get, and second being that it would determine how much tax money the state would pay the government. So more slaves equals more representatives.]]> 2018-11-07 19:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301732470 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301736047 There were two plans for two different sides. The southern states plan was to count slaves as a part of their population for representation but not taxes. Of course this would work in their favor because the southern states had more slaves. The northern states plan was the exact opposite of the southern states plan. It said that slaves should be counted for taxes but not representation because they didnt want the southern states to have too much power. ]]> 2018-11-07 19:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301736047 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301739657 The compromise the states made was called the 3/5 compromise. It said that each slave would count as 3/5 of a person making the large states not too powerful, and the small states not too weak. ]]> 2018-11-07 19:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301739657 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301741693 2018-11-07 19:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301741693 mia_johnson_436 https://padlet.com/mia_johnson_436/tqjbm196hqme/wish/301741978 The states also disagreed over the issue of trade and its regulation.
