Describe Georgias role in the constitutional convention. Introduction: During the American Revolution, colonists were faced with developing self rule since they broke away from Englands rule. Colonists were challenged with writing a new Constitution at both the state and the National level. There were many problems with the first form of national government, the Articles of Confederation. In 1787, representatives from the newly formed states called for a new constitutional convention. Instructions: Follow the links for each question to obtain the correct answer.

What was the role of Georgia in the national Constitutional convention of 1787? Georgians who attended the convention:Why Georgia wanted a stronger national government:How did the new US Constitution address concerns about the national Government becoming too powerful?While many understood the need to change the Articles of Confederation as well as development of a new Constitution for the United States, there were those who felt the national governments powers should be kept weak. They felt the national government and interests of the larger states would threaten the existence of the smaller states as well as state sovereignty (the right of individual states to govern themselves independently). Two major proposals related to this issue arose at the Constitutional Convention. The Virginia Plan would base representation in the legislative branch on population, while the New Jersey Plan sought to maintain the interests of smaller states by guaranteeing a set number of representatives from each state in Congress 7. The Virginia Plan was introduced during the May 29th, 1787 session of the Constitutional Convention. Who was the delegate who introduced the plan to the convention? 8.

What date was The New Jersey Plan introduced to Congress? 13. Look at the seventh article proposed in the New Jersey Plan. How would this article accord the rights of suffrage? 14. How many houses would the New Jersey plan include in the national legislature? 15. How would the rights of suffrage be determined in the other house? 16. According to Madisons notes, how many houses would the national legislature include? 17. How many delegates made up the first House of Representatives? 18. How were the delegates divided per state?
