Question

Which was not an issue that divided the delegates to the Constitutional Convention? A. how to count slaves for representation B. the continuation of the slave trade C. representation for small and large states D. the need for a federal government with more power

Answer 1

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 2

D. The need for a federal government with more power

Step-by-step 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.
