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.
