Of the following which was not a major question that surfaced while the delegates of the Constitutional Convention debated the shape and powers of a possible executive branch?
One major question that did not surface during the debates of the Constitutional Convention regarding the executive branch was whether the U.S. should have a monarchy. The delegates were primarily focused on issues such as the structure of the executive (single vs. plural executive), the method of election, the powers and limits of the executive, and the length of the presidential term. The idea of a monarchy was generally rejected, as the delegates sought to create a system that balanced power and prevented tyranny.
Why did the delegates decide to have a two-part congress?
The delegates decided that they wanted a legislature where every state has an equal number of votes, namely the Senate. They also wanted one where votes are proportional to population, namely the House of Representatives.
Why do some delegates fear that a single executive might create a monarchy or assume tyrannical powers?
All of the men who wrote the constitution had lived under a monarchy and they didn't fight to have another one rule their lives. They wanted to ensure that the government was on dominant by one office or branch.

Differences between federalists and anti federalists?
A federalist was a person who want power removed from the states to the national government, wanted the three branch government style that we use today, wanted a single person to head the the executive branch, and also wanted the US Constitution to pass and go into effect, an anti-federalist was a person who wanted political powers to stay within the states, wanted the legislature to have more power than the executive branch, feared of one leader for the executive branch, because he might try to become a king or tyrant, wanted a Bill of Rights to be added to the constitution, this did happen, and wanted the constitution changed before it passed; these views were argued over from about 1787-1790.
Why do many of the delegates of the constitutional convention have opposed a one person executive?
To understand this, you must first think about the American Revolution. Americans had just fought a war for their Independence from a monarchy. The Founding Fathers would be hesitant to institute a one-person executive because it would look dangerously similar to another king. They would take every precaution to avoid anything that resembled a monarchy.
