Answer:

Balancing power between the state government and the federal government.

Balancing the power of the small and large states.

How we would vote for or president.

Step-by-step explanation:

When working on the drafting of the new Constitution, the conflicts boiled down to 3 major issues. The issues are:

1. Balancing power between the state government and the federal government: this is the major point of disagreement between the pro-national government and anti-national government. This led to what was later known as Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The former supports stronger Federal power, while the latter supports stronger State power.

2. Balancing the power of the small and large states: this centers on the number of representatives from each state to form Congress. Some support larger states to have more representatives while some favor an equal number of representatives regardless of the state's population sizes.

3. How we would vote for our president: this deals on whether the general citizens' votes should determine who gets elected as President, or the Senators who were assumed to be well informed be the ones to elect the President. In short, it is about whether they should opt for direct Democracy or a Republic.
