__Main Ideas__

Should the government's power come from the states or the people? It should come from the people because no one liked it when only one person was in control, so they let everyone decide what to do.

2. Should slaves be counted as people or property for determining representation in Congress? They should be counted as people, but they were counted as property and they were counted as 3/5 of a person.

3. Should the slave trade be outlawed or allowed to continue? It should be outlawed since slaves are people. It continued for hundreds of years until the civil war which ended slavery, although negroes still did not have complete rights.

4. Should a single person be allowed to head (lead) the executive branch? No, if it were ran by one person, then they would have too much power. So they divided the power to different people.

5. Should the chief executive (president) be elected by the Congress or by the people? By the people because we live in a democracy and it is run by the people. If it were decided by congress then it would be unfair.
