Answer:

The delegates agreed that the new government would be limited and representative, the powers of the national government would be divided among three branches, and that state power should be limited

Step-by-step explanation:

Thirteen states presented 55 representatives as delegates to the constitutional convention that was presided over by George Washington. These delegates were asked to argue their points boldly without any fear of possible blame. James Madison, together with other Virginia delegates proposed a plan that included the formation of three branches of Government not one, and the congress of the United States be divided in two houses.

They also pointed out that each of those houses would are presented based on the population they have and not on equality as stated in the articles of the confederation that backs unicameral congress
