t The Constitution

 Philadelphia  Delegates from all the states invited to a convention to improve the Articles of Confederation, which were not working  Only Rhode Island didn’t attend  55 Delegates attended

 George Washington was asked to preside (lead) over the convention.  James Madison kept notes of the discussions and is often called “The Father of the Constitution.”  The men who wrote the Constitution are called the “Founding Fathers.”  All the participants in the Convention were wealthy, white, males.



 The power of the federal government. Would the states or the federal government have the most power?  Representation in Congress (How many members on Congress would each state get? – small states wanted equal representation, large states wanted it to be determined by population of the states  Slavery – How would slaves be counted? Would the slave trade continue?

 Called for a new national government. Threw out the Articles of Confederation  Three separate branches of government. – a legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch  Representation in the legislative branch based on population of state  Large states like the plan, small states don’t.

 Legislature - has one house.  Each state gets one vote.  Small states like the plan, the large states hate it.  There would have to be a compromise.

 Legislature would have two houses (parts): House of Representatives and a Senate  House - based on the population of state  Senate - two senators per each state

 The Southern states refused to approve the Constitution unless slavery continued.  It was a terrible compromise to make, but the Northern states had no choice if they wanted a Constitution.  3/5 Compromise - Made each slave worth 3/5 of a vote in deciding numbers in House of Representatives  Congress can not ban the slave trade until 1808.
