Georgia's representatives at the Constitutional Convention generally supported the continued protection of the slave trade. They feared that any limitations on the trade would negatively impact their state's economy, which heavily relied on slave labor in industries like agriculture. Additionally, they sought to maintain their political power in the new government by ensuring the representation of slaveholding states.
