read the comments about what each delegate said and contrast all opposing views. Look at the differences in large state and small state views and how the small states were concerned whether or not their views would get crushed in the minority. where states like Pennsylvania and New York with their large populations would dominate the legislature and the smaller states like Delaware and North/South Carolina would never be able to compete. Lots of Interesting arguments went on in the founding of this country. This is a great lesson plan I wish more government classes were taught like this

Remember, the constituion was debated HEAVILY. So, the minutes of the meetings would indicate that. A lot of give and take and compromise took place. Some very heated arguements. But, if you look up Ben Franklin on the web, I am sure they will have some of his quotes about the occurance. Good luck.

You can't start without a quill pen and real old-fashioned ink in an inkwell. Then listen and note what each speaker says and others say in support or in opposition.

You have to sugarcoat your entire report. Research some of Condoleeza Rice's work.
