Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention happened on 1975-05-01.
There was a major disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.
Ernest Baird has written: 'The Northern Ireland Convention' -- subject(s): Great Britain, Great Britain. Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention
The northern and southern states had two major disagreements at the convention. The North disagreed with the use of slaves, and the South disagreed how people were elected to office.
D. whether the federal government should have the power to regulate slavery.
George Washington was voted in as the chairman of the Constitutional convention. He became unhappy with the position because of the arguments between large and small populated states or northern free states and southern slave states. He also had to stay quiet or neutral with any remarks so he would not be accused of using his position to sway the vote on any contorversy. Thank goodness for Roger Sherman of Connecticut who came up with the Great Compromise. Three major compromises allowed the constitutional convention to conclude to the ratification process. "Father of the U.S. Contitution was a young delegate from Virginia named James Madison, who later will be voted in as the fourth President of the United States.
The compromises that the Northern and Southern states reached were the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise.~A.K. =)
A constitutional convention is now a gathering for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. A general constitutional convention is called to create the first constitution of a political unit or to entirely replace an existing constitution. An unlimited constitutional convention is called to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper, whereas a limited constitutional convention is restricted to revising only the areas of the current constitution named in the convention's call, the legal mandate establishing the convention. Examples of constitutional conventions include:United States: Annapolis Convention (1786), which proposed what became the Philadelphia Convention (1787) -- Drafted the United States Constitution for ratification by the states. Article V of the constitution sets forth a mechanism whereby future constitutional conventions can be held. The constitution has been amended several times since the Philadelphia Convention, but never (as of 2011) by this method.France: The National Convention of 1792 (commonly referred to as The Convention) convened during The French Revolution on September 20 with the purpose of writing a Republican Constitution following the suspension of the French Monarchy. The monarchy was officially abolished on September 21 by The Convention.Missouri Constitutional Convention (1861-63), established Missouri's provisional government during the American Civil WarCanada: (1864), Quebec Conference, 1864, and London Conference of 1866.Australian constitutional conventions -- 1891, 1897, 1973 and 1998.Germany: ParlamentRat (Parliamentary Council) (1948) -- Drafted the Basic Law of the Federal Republic for ratification by the londonNorthern Ireland Constitutional Convention (1975--1976) -- a failed attempt to find a solution to the status of Northern Ireland.Scottish Constitutional Convention (1989) -- produced a plan for Scottish devolution.European Convention (2001) -- Drafted the Constitution for Europe for approval by the European Council and ratification by the member states.Philippine Constitutional Convention 1935 -- to draft a constitution to create the autonomous Commonwealth of the Philippines under the U.S. Act.

The colonies were not upset with the Constitutional Convention. That said, they had to hammer out issues of states' rights versus the rights of the new central government, which meant taking into account the interests of various economies. The economies of the northern colonies were based more on industry and those of the sourhtern colonies on agriculture.
