Chapter Simulation
Introduction
Before embarking on this simulation, be sure to read Chapter 2, paying particular attention to pages 45-54, discussing the compromises of the Constitutional Convention.
In this simulation, you are cast in the role of a delegate to the American Constitutional Convention of 1787, representing one of the original states. You will be given information about some options available to the delegates, and your task is to represent the interests of your state but ultimately to end up with a constitution that can be ratified. Remember that in the Constitutional Convention, each state was allowed a single vote regardless of its size, economic status, or population.
