Final answer:

The Constitutional Convention addressed key issues related to the presidency, including term limits and election processes.


Explanation:

The main contentious issues regarding the presidency at the Constitutional Convention revolved around how many individuals would hold the office, the extent of presidential powers, the term length, the method of election, and the possibility of serving multiple terms.

In terms of concerns between small states and big states, the smaller states feared being overshadowed by larger states based on population, leading to debates on representation and influence in the presidency.

The 22nd Amendment was introduced to the Constitution to prevent presidents from being elected more than two terms, aiming to avoid potential long-term consolidations of power.
