How should states be represented in the new government?

This is the question the 8th grade history class debated at a mock Constitutional Convention. Each student took on the role of one of the delegates at the Constitutional Convention. At the convention, led by General George Washington, the students portrayed their delegates' views. Each state tried to get their proposal passed. After coming to a deadlock, the delegates had to come to a compromise in an effort to keep the convention from falling apart. At the end of the 3 day convention, the delegates came to a compromise and most of the delegates signed the Constitution.
