  • Kaden Carlson2nd Constitutional Convention3-13-24
  • America gained its independence during the revolutionary war in 1783
  • Purpose of the 2nd Constitutional Convention
  • At first the government created the Articles of confederation but soon after that document was found to be ineffective and America was falling apart
  • So they decide it was time to make a change
  • Delegates from all the states gathered at the independence hall in Pennsylvania to begin the long process of rewriting the foundation of our government.
  • They decide to scrap the article of confederation completely and start from scratch
  • We need to come together as a government and create a document that represents our people with more federal power!
  • Delegates fought over equal and fair representation in congress
  • We need the right balance not too much federal power but more than we have now!
  • I am George Washington and I represent virginia at this convention
  • George Washington
  • I am also president of this convention
  • I am William Livingston and I represent New Jersey at the convention
  • William Livingston
  • I also represent the New Jersey Plan which aims to give equal representation in Congress to all states no matter how big they are.
  • James Madison
  • Im James Madison and I represent the Virginia Plan which fights to give states representation in Congress based off population of that state.
  • States with larger populations have more representation in Congress
  • State delegates argued for weeks over which plan they should adopt. The states were split and a compromise was in need.
  • @!#$%*$#@%$
  • How about we split Congress into two parts a house of representatives and a senate? a states representation in the house can be based off a state's population and the Senate can give every state equal representation. That way we're both happy!

  • 3/5
