This lesson will have students explore & debate the five major compromises that were made at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The delegates were charged with the task of amending the Articles of Confederation. However, they quickly decided to replace the Articles and write a new constitution. Because the delegates came from all parts of the country, they differed on a number of key issues. In order to keep the convention going and ensure ratification of the Constitution, the delegates had to compromise a number of times. As a result, the final document is sometimes described as a "bundle" of compromises.

Materials Include:

• Student Guided Notes T-Chart
• 23 Slide Presentation
• Teacher Answer Key

Supporting Questions:

• What was the purpose of the Constitutional Convention?
• What are the five compromises of the Constitution?
