The relationship between states and the proposed national government plagued convention delegates. Some saw states as obsolete in the new system; others vociferously advocated for the continued power and authority of each state. In this presentation we will explore the arguments and the solutions that led to the system of shared sovereignty that we have today.
This presentation will explore Articles IV through VII of the U.S. Constitution.
