The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787. George Washington was elected to preside over the Convention. Controversy arose at the Convention due to differing opinions on how representation in Congress should be determined. The Great Compromise, proposed by Roger Sherman, resolved this by creating a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate having equal representation for each state. After writing the Constitution, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay wrote a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers to promote its ratification. These essays explained the benefits of the Constitution and addressed concerns that people had about it. For the storyboard: 1. The Virginia Plan: Proposed by James Madison, it favored large states and called for a bicameral legislature with representation based on population. 2. The New Jersey Plan: Proposed by William Paterson, it favored small states and called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state. 3. The Great Compromise: Proposed by Roger Sherman, it combined elements of the Virginia and New Jersey Plans by creating a bicameral legislature with one house based on population and the other with equal representation for each state.
