He was named president of the convention

This state did not send any delegates to the Constitutional Convention

The Constitutional Convention was held in this city

This event made people realize the need to fix the Articles of Confederation

Under the Articles of Confederation there were this many branches of the national government

This plan asked for three branches of government and two houses of legislature

This part of the country would benefit most from having slaves count as part of the population for determining representation in congress

After the second big compromise it was determined that each slave would count as this many people

The Great Compromise settled this dispute

To appease the slave states it was determined that the issue of slavery could not be questioned for this long after ratification of the Constitution

This plan asked for three branches of government and one house of legislature

The president is chosen by this group

Northern states wanted slaves to be counted for this

Who would benefit most from having representation in the national legislature based on population?

The electors of the elector college are chosen by these

These were supporters of the Constitution

This group of people argued that the constitution would not maintain a republican government, gave too much power to the national government, and did not include a bill of rights for the people

In order for the Constitution to take effect, this many of the 13 states needed to ratify it

John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison wrote these essays to convince people to vote in favor of ratification

This was the first state to ratify the Constitution and thus became the first state of the USA

John Adams defended in court the British troops accused of killing five Americans during this incident

Because of the tremendous amount of influence that he had on the entire convention, he is called “The Father of the Constitution”

At 81 years of age, he was the oldest and most internationally famous delegate to attend the convention

He was the American president during World War II, and the only president to be elected to more than two terms

This is the first paragraph of the Constitution
