The Constitutional Convention (1787)

Below is a chart detailing various issues that faced the framers of the constitution. The solutions that they created became the Constitution of the United States of America.


Issue
Compromise/Solutions

Representation:
1. How would the legislature be chosen? The large states wanted representation based upon population; the smaller states wanted all states represented equally.

2. How would slaves be counted? The North wanted slaves counted for tax purposes, the south wanted slaves counted for the purposes of representation in Congress.

1. The Great Compromise: A bicameral legislature consisting of two houses was set up:
a) The Senate: Upper House, all states represented equally, 2 per state.
b) The House of Representatives: Representation by population. 435 members subject to change as per US census.
2. The 3/5 Compromise: Slaves were to be counted in the following manner; 5 slaves equaled three persons.

Slavery:
1. Would slavery continue?
1. Yes, but the Constitutional convention banned importation of slaves after 1808.

The Presidency:
1. How would the President be elected?
2. How long would the Presidents term of office be?
1. The Electoral College was created to vote for the President. Each state was given the same number of electors as they had representatives. In later years the Electoral college promised to vote based upon the what the majority of each state wanted. This became known as the electoral college promise.
2-- 4 Years.

Power of the Federal Government
1. How would the powers of the states (something very important to the colonists who at that time felt more like "Virginians or Pennsylvanians" then Americans) be protected?

2. How would the central government's power be limited do that it could not take away peoples rights?


​1. Federalism - The Federal system (also known as Division of Powers) was created. The federal government was given certain powers, the states were given certain powers and there were certain powers that they shared.

2. Checks and Balances: The government was divided into three branches. Each branch (Executive, Legislative and Judicial) was given certain powers that limited the powers of the other branches. In this way no one branch can gain too much power. This is also known as separation of powers.
The founding fathers also wrote the Bill of Rights.
These solutions and compromises formed the basis of the new American government written in a document called the Constitution of the United States.

How does the Constitution give us a voice in Government?
As of 2015, there are 318.9 million Americans, so with 435 members of the House of Representatives, that gets you to 733,103 Americans/district.
We in NJ have 12 Representatives in the House (see below).
DUMONT is in the 5th NJ District and our Representative is  
Josh Gottheimer, Democrat. He serves on the Budget and Financial Services Committees. 

Besides the House of Representatives ,each State gets 2 Senators. Since there are 50 States, there are 100 Senators.
The two NJ Senators are Cory Booker and Robert Menendez, both Democrats.


As of the 2010 Census, New Jersey has 14 electoral votes in a Presidential Election, representing 8.8 million people. 
That number comes from the amount of Representatives (12)  and Senators (2, like every other state) from NJ.
