John Rutledge participated in the Articles of Confederation. He was from South Carolina so he supported the south and all of their decisions. In one of the arguments, he believed that slaves and Whites should be counted together when figuring the population for purposes of representation. When the question was asked: should the nationally legislature have the power to control trade and the slave trade? he was part of the south so he feared that the national legislature might place export duties on their crops, interfere with slave trade, and make commercial treaties favoring the north. He also helped make the constitution and signed it also.
