The completed constitution of the Unite States of America.  

The Philadelphia convention will close with a draft of a new American constitution.  

The convention settles on the Sherman compromise for the legislature and take up the issue of slavery. Washington will form a committee of detail to draw up all of the points agreed to into a new document.  

The convention begins to breakdown, delegates threaten each other, and cannot find compromises on distribution of voting power  

The opposition unveils their own plan, and we see the factions of the federalists and anti-federalists break into the open. 

The convention starts tackling the composition of the legislative branch. Fractures begin to appear as the convection gets closer to discussing appropriations of votes and power in the proposed federal legislature    

The convention will discuss the makeup of the legislative bodies House/Senate while avoiding the truly contentious topic of the allocation of the votes of the states   

The convention begins with the unveiling of the, which was to the shock of many, an outline for a new government. 

In May 1787, the Federal Convention begins to assemble in Philidelphia. 

We discuss the bitter negations for a Spanish trade treaty and how the Philidelphia convention eventually got support.
