Your state:

Large or Small

Slave or Free

Our mission is to create a legislative branch that will make fair laws for all of the 13 states. There are two main areas to consider:

1) How will the states be represented in the new Congress? Should the number of representatives be based on the number of people living in the state (in other words, by population)? Or should each state have an equal number of votes? We must answer this question before members of the new Congress can vote on any new bills (laws being considered).
2) How will slaves in the new states be taxed? Should slave-holding state pay full taxes on every slave living within its borders?

What do you propose regarding these issues? Please develop your proposal below and be ready to submit it to the President of the Convention to be considered by all of delegates present.
Thank you.
