Their debate was on how each State would be represented in the Congress. Large states wanted to have the Number of representatives based upon the Population and the small states wanted it to be equal number for each state. The answer was to have a Congress made up of 2 Houses: (A) House of Representativves based upon a State's population and (B) Congress which has equal senators elected from each state.
Representation in Congress
slavery
There were several, but I bet the one you're thinking of was slavery.
The delegates at the Constitutional Convention chose to put off the slavery issue primarily to ensure the unity of the states and facilitate the ratification of the new Constitution. Many feared that addressing slavery directly would lead to deep divisions and potentially jeopardize the fragile alliance between Northern and Southern states. They believed that the issue could be resolved later, underestimating the growing tensions surrounding slavery that would ultimately lead to conflict. However, rather than becoming easier to settle, the issue escalated over time, culminating in the Civil War.
Created the U.S. ConstitutionThe 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention created the U.S. Constitution. On the final day of the convention, September 17, 1787, thirty eight of them signed the Constitution. The Constitution went into effect the next year, after it was ratified by nine states. The key pieces included the checks and balances and separation of powers: * Between the federal and state governments (and later the Bill of Rights asserted individual rights) * Within the federal government powers were split between executive, legislative, and judicial branches * Within the bicameral legislative branch powers were split between the House of Representatives, in which the representatives were apportioned according to each state's population, and the Senate, in which each state would have two senators. Unlike the Articles of Confederation, the national government can levy taxes directly onto citizens and industries.

delegates at the constitutional convention of 1787 agreed to the three-fiths compromise as a way slaves were counted in determining a state's congressional delegation.
The Constitutional Convention exceeded its authority in writing a new Constitution and it was feared that if deliberations on a new Constitution were to be found out, the Convention would be dissolved. The Convention was supposed to work out amendments to the Articles of Confederation that would keep that document in effect but improve on its inherent weaknesses. It was soon apparent to the delegates that saving the Articles of Confederation by amendment was hopeless, so they began to create a new form of government entirely. This was a task, the delegates had no authority to do.

The founding fathers had to settle the disagreement over states rights versus federal rights, and which has power over certain situations.
