(sandra) The structure of government was a congress. Their weaknesses were they could not pass the laws without nine of the thirteen states approved. Another weakness was could not be changed vote of all the states. Third, laws could not be enforced without an executive branch.

(Blanca) a. The issue of the Great Compromise was that the new government be split into two halves. One of which was the Senate, the upper house, and the House of Representatives, the lower house. This idea was proposed by Roger Sherman and his idea was accepted at the Convention. b. The issue of the 3/5 compromise was that either the slaves be counted in the population or they just be counted as 3/5 of a person. The Southern States depended on the slaves being counted as part of the population which meant they would have more representatives. The North oppossed this idea because it would cut all of their political power. As a result, both sides agreed on having slaves count as only 3/5 of a person. c. The third and possibly the most important compromise was the Importation of slaves. The South was absolutely dependent on slave trade since the land was mostly plantation. The North, however, wanted to abolish slave trading. The Southern representatives were devastated and the Convention almost ended because of it. This particular comprise wasn't delt with until twenty years later, in 1808.

(Rosalva) The Ratification of the Constitution consisted between two different groups the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.The two main arguments between them were,amount of power and The Bill of Rights. The first opinions between the amount of power were,Federalist- the Federalist thought that limiting a presidents power would equal a weak government; in the other hand the Anti-Federalist thought that an overpowered government would be a threat to their liberty.The second argument ,The Bill of Rights, was thought as unnecessary and dangerous for the Federalist; the last opinion the Anti-Federalist, argued against the lack of a Bill of Rights. Only one solution could solve this and it was to add a Bill of Rights after the new office took place in 1791, and the Constitution was ratified.
