Issues: -Reform or start afresh? (new one) -Representation-> Virginia or New Jersey Plan? (Connecticut Plan--Great Compromise, bicameral Congress) -Powers of the President->How long? (4 years, unlimited reelection) How much power? (Commander in Chief of Army, Navy, and state militias, can veto a law, can make treaties, etc.) What limits? (Can be removed from office, cannot declare war, Senate can override veto, etc.) -Presidential Elections->Who elects? (Electoral College, each state gets certain # of electors, currently 270 needed to elect prez) -Slavery->Counted? (3/5ths compromise) Allowed under Constitution/Slave trade allowed? (Slave Trade Clause, slave trade would continue until at least 1808, Fugitive Slave Clause, slaves that fled would be returned) -Trade and Tariffs->protective tariff? could lead to foreign relaliation, support from south not north (Congress could regulate interstate & foreign trade, Congress could place tariffs on imported goods, Congress could not place taxes on exports) -Division of Powers->Federalism, diving & sharing power between states and national gov, who does what? (Nation Gov: presidential powers, Congressional powers, Legal Supremacy; States: regulate trade within the state, establish public schools, create traffic and other vehicle laws, regulate marriage and divorce practices, cannot print own money) -How to adopt Constitution? (Federalist vs. Anti-federalist--> if they could get 9/13 states to agree, would be instituted, let states have their own conventions to discuss first)
