Convention (cont'd from page 2) life term. Delegates from New Jersey, led by William Patterson, countered this plan with one of their own. They suggested a legislature of equal representation and a president elected by the general populace. The New Jersey delegates supported the concept of a weak central government. They believed a strong govern ed result in a situation similar under King George III in ment to Er two iict between supporters of these iuns caused much difficulty that summer. Neither side was willing to budge until the other made some concessions. Several of the delegates left and went home. Some of those remaining threatened to break up the convention. Around the fourth of July, the delegates were given a week off. During this time, many talked about how to deal with the situation. At the end of the break, Roger Sherman of Connecticut came up with the Connecticut Compromise. He suggested that both sides have a say in the legislature by basing one house on population, and the other house on equal representation. He suggested a president chosen by the electoral college, based on the popular vote of each state. This solved a serious problem, but there were others left to deal with. For example, the black slaves. They were not considered citizens of the U.S., yet the Southerners wanted to count them as such for tax purposes. Norther :rs opposed this concept. They felt tiu: would give the south more power than they already had. Finally, a system of counting each slave as 35 of a person for census and taxing purposes was worked out. Another matter dealt with was the prohibition of slave imports to the country after 1808. This later turned into a matter of controversy, which ultimately caused the Civil War. Matters of separa'on of the powers were also dealt with, in effect creating the system of checks . nd balances. The executive, legislative, ; id judicial branches were set up to keei each other from getting too much powe When all was fim 'y completed, September 17, 1787, it was signed by 39 delegates from 12 states, as Rhode Island did not send a delegate. (Rhode Island was also the last to radify the document.) The new constitution was then to be sent to the states, where it was to be ratified in conventions.
