How to count slaves for representation, the continuation of the slave trade, and representation for small and large states (A,B,C) were all issues that divided the delegates. The issue of a need for a federal government with more power was also an issue that was debated, however, it was generally agreed that a new document was needed and therefore a federal government with more power was needed.

Answer:

D. The need for a federal government with more power

Explanation:

The other options were very debated during the Constitutional Convention. Although the empowerment of the federal government was also debated, it was a general feeling after the events that happened with the Articles of Confederation that showed the lack of power that the central government had.

So, the need for a strong federal government was not an issue that divided the delegates of the Constitutional Convention.

I hope this answer helps you.
