Welcome to the Philadelphia Convention Hall, 1787 Today, we welcome 7 social groups to debate 2 burning questions that will impact the future of this country. Should slavery be abolished? Who should have the right to vote?

Convention Procedure: We will debate one issue at a time. Should slavery be abolished? Who should have the right to vote? Raise your hand if you would like to comment on one of the questions for debate. You will stand, introduce yourself, and read your speech. When you are finished, convention members will have a chance to comment. After we have debated the 2 burning questions, we will take a vote.

Convention Debrief: 1. At the real convention, only southern plantation owners and northern merchants were in attendance. How did they answer the burning questions? Should slavery be abolished? Who should have the right to vote? 2. How might history have been different if other groups of people had been allowed to attend?
