Were the Founding Fathers and members of the Constitutional Convention elitists or pluralists?
Individually, America's Founders were by many contemporary standards 'elitists,' if not in necessarily negative ways. As a group, the Founders combined respect for elitism and pluralism in their remarkably original political ideas -- and in the structuring and divisions of the 'grand experiment' of the new nation that they founded.
What did the founding fathers believe in article v do you feel this is important?
The Founding Fathers had concerns that the newly created federal government could lose the trust and confidence of the public. Thus they created the option in Article V for a convention of state delegates that could propose constitutional amendments as an alternative to Congress proposing amendments. In either case, proposed amendments would still have to be ratified by the states according to the requirements of Article V. Clearly, the founders feared that Congress might not propose amendments that impacted Congress itself. That is exactly what has happened. The public has lost confidence in Congress and Congress has refused to convene the first Article V convention, despite many hundreds of requests for one from the states. Learn the facts at foavc.org.
What issues were agreed on at the Constitutional Convention?
At the Constitutional Convention, some of the key issues that were agreed upon include the establishment of a strong federal government with separate branches (executive, legislative, judicial), the creation of a bicameral legislature (with a House of Representatives and a Senate), the compromise between large and small states known as the Great Compromise or Connecticut Compromise, and the 3/5 compromise which determined how enslaved individuals would be counted for purposes of representation and taxation.
Why did the founders want a bicameral legislature?
In the Constitutional Convention there was a dispute between the New Jersey Plan (equal representation despite population) and Virginia Plan (representation based on population). In response, Sherman and Johnson created the Connecticut Compromise (or Great Compromise) in which there would be a Senate (2 reps per state) and a House of Representatives (representatives based on population).
