Problem
Describe and evaluate how the different ideological positions on the function and structure of the federal government were resolved with the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Answer the prompt using evidence from the documents. Your answer must be a page long. In your answer, make sure you cite specific persons and their positions. Most delegates knew that something had to be done, but issues such as representation, taxes, and slavery were too contentious and led to little common ground. How did the delegates find resolution to some of those questions to reach a compromise?
