Question 7 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

Which statement about the delegates at the Constitutional Convention is accurate?

Answer
T
The delegates all came to the convention from the same region.
T
The delegates agreed on the same constitutional principles.
T
The delegates agreed on what governmental changes were necessary.
T
The delegates considered each one of their states to have independent interests.

Explanation

The delegates represented different states and often had conflicting economic and political priorities. They considered their own states’ interests when debating issues such as representation and slavery, so the accurate statement is that they viewed each state as having independent interests. The delegates did not all come from one region or agree on the same principles or necessary changes.
