Representation in Congress
Slavery
hii this is my answer
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.
a house of reps and senate was created so each state would have equal representation
The founding fathers had to settle the disagreement over states rights versus federal rights, and which has power over certain situations.
The delegates settled the dispute over voting during the Constitutional Convention by establishing a compromise known as the Great Compromise or Connecticut Compromise. This agreement created a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate granting equal representation to each state. This balanced the interests of both larger and smaller states, providing a fair voting system while ensuring that all states had a voice in the legislative process.
dumb stuff
The main power of the Judicial Branch is judicial review, the ability of the courts to review laws and executive orders relevant to a case before the court to determine whether they are constitutional.
Constitutional monarchy vs Republic: the debate has been continuing in Australia for many years, and will probably continue for many more years. In an effort to settle the matter once and for all, a Constitutional Convention was held in Canberra in February 1998. During the two-week convention, a model for a republic was adopted, which was then presented to the public at a referendum on 6 November 1999. In the final count, the "no" votes led 54.87% to 45.13%. All six states voted against the proposal. Victoria held the narrowest margin of 50.16% to 49.84%.
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.
McCulloch v. Maryland settled that the National Bank was constitutional. Also it settled that Maryland does not have the power to tax a institution created by congress.
