1. Who attended the Philadelphia Convention and how was it organized? 2. How did the framers resolve the conflict over representation in Congress? 3. How did the framers resolve the conflict between the northern and southern states? 4. How did the framers resolve the conflict about the powers of the legislative branch? 5. How much power should be given to the executive and judicial branches? 6. GA’s involvement in the Constitutional Convention.

 There were 55 delegates who attended  Every state was represented except for Rhode Island  George Washington was one of the primary leaders  Everyone was encouraged to participate openly and share their ideas

 There was debate over whether each state should get equal representation or proportional representation according to population  Two plans were presented  NJ Plan – smaller states wanted equal representation  VA plan- larger states wanted proportional representation  The Great Compromise created a bi-cameral legislature with a Senate (equal representation) and a House of Representatives (proportional representation)

Tariffs  Northern states wanted tariffs on imports to force the southern states to trade with them instead of European countries  Congress was given the power to charge tariffs Slavery  Northern states no longer felt the need for slavery and did not want to count the slaves in the population count for representation  Southern states wanted to count the slaves because they had smaller free populations  3/5 Compromise  Each slave counted as 3/5 of a person for representation

 In order to ensure that the legislative branch did not have too much power, three branches were created.  The constitution specifically spells out the duties of the legislature- ENUMERATED POWERS (very specific responsibilities for each branch so no confusion could come up later)

 The other two branches (executive & judicial) also had specific powers which were separate from the legislative branch and each other.  Separation of Powers  Each branch was also given the ability to check up on the others.  Checks and Balances

 Georgia’s two delegates to the convention were Abraham Baldwin and William Few.  These two men were the last to vote on the representation issue and split their vote which caused more discussion over the representation issue leading to the Great Compromise.  Baldwin would later go on to start the University of Georgia, the first land grant university in the U.S.
