The Constitution and the Founding

Answer the questions fully. Explain, describe and give detail where appropriate.

What were the principal lessons they learned from each of these experiences? How did these lessons impact the goals of the Constitution’s framers? (See pages 25-27)
2) What were the different factions represented at the Constitutional Convention? How did the differences between them shape the Constitution? Give at least three specific examples to support your answer. (See pages 27-31)
