A IMS OF THE C ONVENTION Original purpose was to define which powers are held by federal and state government. All delegates agreed we needed a stronger national government. Congress was given the power to act directly upon the people. Opposed political parties, they were viewed as selfish. Presiding officer – George Washington.

T HREE -F IFTH C OMPROMISE Southerners wanted to count slaves as part of the population, but Northerners disagreed since they were not allowed to vote. counted three-fifth’s of slaves as part of a state’s population for determining representation. 500 enslaved people would count as 300 free people.
