The Constitutional Convention began in the summer of drag and drop answer here in Philadelphia. Its was held to drag and drop answer here the
Articles of Confederation which had taken effect in drag and drop answer here but had proved to be a weak foundation of government. Delegates
had many issues to contend with and these are among those issues
Some states favored the plan of government that would give more power to larger states (known as the drag and drop answer here ) while some
favored a government that favored smaller states (known as the drag and drop answer here). What resulted was a government that was based on a
plan that combined those two plans, known the drag and drop answer here. There would be a drag and drop as here Congress consisting of
two houses the House of Representative and the Senate Members of the drag and drop answer here would be determined according to a state's
population, while each state would get two members in the drag and drop answer nete Together, both houses of Congress would be responsible for
drug and capture the laws of the United States
There would be added and down to head the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch would be in charge of ding and drop there
the laws of the national government
There would also be a cung und drepte, which would be headed by the drag and drop another This branch would be responsible
for interpreting the laws of the country
Lastly, the delegates decided on a solution to an issue that would be a problem for decades to come. The drug and drop there was an
solution to the issue of counting slaves as part of a state's population when determining their overall population for Congress. This did not free slaves,
nor did it allow them to vote
