Explanation

The delegates had to address slavery, including how enslaved people would be counted for representation and taxation. They also debated how much power each state should have, especially whether representation in Congress should be equal for every state or based on population. Creating cities, supporting the Continental Army against the British, and breaking up plantations were not major issues the Convention was assembled to resolve.
