A constitution is a document that outlines the powers of government. Constitution (1787) Bill of Rights (1791) James Madison formulated many of the ideas included in the Constitution and is known as the “Father of the Constitution. ” He proposed that the U. S. government be organized in three branches: a legislative branch (Congress), an executive branch (the President) and a judicial branch (Supreme Court). The “Great Compromise” related to representation of states in the federal government. Other compromises made during the drafting process included the “three-fifths compromise” which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person when apportioning direct taxes or counting representation in the House of representatives. Another compromise related to the slave trade, which the convention agreed to end in 1808. Article VII, The Federalists, who favored a strong central government, supported the Constitution while the Anti-Federalists, who favored states’ rights and the protection of individual rights through a Bill of Rights, opposed ratification The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution ratified in 1791. In several states, ratification of the Constitution was only obtained when Federalist supporters promised to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution.
