=Resolution: Should the Constitution written in Philadelphia be adopted as the Supreme Law of the land?= You are about to conduct a debate simulating the debates that might have gone on within the 13 states' constitutional conventions called in 1788 to ratify the newly written so -called Philadelphia Constitution. The Philadelphia convention of 1787 had been given the job of fixing the ailing Articles of Confederation constitution, but instead the Philadelphia delegates created an entirely new framework of government. Some people objected, saying the delegates simply wanted to turn back the democratic government created under the Articles and stop the revolution. Others argue that the Articles are un-fixable, that a stronger central government is called for and that this new government will preserve the revolution by protecting popular sovereignty within the government.
