The delegates knew that the slavery issue could prevent the Constitution from ever being ratified, and the states would have never become a nation. Therefore, they decided to mostly ignore the issue and put off the major decisions to another day. The slave trade was to be banned after 1820, more than 30 years in the future for the delegates; but no plan was made for any eventual end to slavery.
One historian noted that when the delegates put off the slavery issue for "another day," that day was the Civil War; a very bad day indeed.
The consequences of failing to deal with slavery -- a huge war with nearly 700,000 dead -- are a lesson about what happens when a government decides to do nothing about a terrible issue that must be dealt with.

Did Georgia support the Virginia Plan?
Yes, Georgia supported the Virginia Plan during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Virginia Plan proposed a strong national government with a bicameral legislature, which appealed to Georgia's interests in promoting a more centralized authority to handle issues such as trade and security. Georgia's delegates believed that a stronger federal government would better serve the needs of their state, particularly in relation to its economic and social dynamics.

Which type of issues were the most difficult to handle imunder the articles of confederation?
Under the Articles of Confederation, the most difficult issues to handle included interstate disputes, economic instability, and the lack of a strong federal government. States often acted independently, leading to conflicts over trade and boundaries. Additionally, the federal government lacked the authority to levy taxes or regulate commerce, resulting in financial difficulties and an inability to address national crises effectively, such as Shays' Rebellion. This weakness ultimately highlighted the need for a stronger central government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.

Do you consider the US government to be democratic?
Federalism and the federal system define the basic structure of American government. There were many disagreements at the Constitutional Convention. Many delegates feared a national government that was too strong and many delegates feared that states' rights would merely continue the weak form of government under the Articles. The Constitution created a federal system of government (federalism) as a compromise. Under federalism, power is shared and divided between national and state governments. The US Constitution also establishes a democratic-republic. A pure democracy can only exist in small city-states, like in Greece where the system developed. A republic provides all the benefits of a democracy but allows the voters to elect representatives who handle the day-to-day operations of government. Notice in the Pledge of Allegiance " I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. . ."
