| Meeting of the Constitutional Convention
Philadelphia Friday, May 25, 1787 You will take the identity of a Founding Father, and will prepare and debate the proposed constitution. You will read their actual conversations for ideas, but you need to prepare statements that explain what they would say in today’s language. (So DON’T just read their conversations to us….that’s not the assignment!) You should also argue any other relevant information and should jump into other arguments as you see fit. George Washington will keep order, so you must be recognized by him to speak. As tensions rise, Decorum is mandated so not following protocol will negatively affect you. Due to the sensitive nature of these discussions, we will hold our Convention in a locked room with all windows shut. Absolutely no word should leak out to the public or press, as it may hinder our advancement towards our goals if we cannot speak freely. NOTE: Okay, maybe not…but be advised that during the summer in Philadelphia, this was their policy. Temperatures often rose into the high 90s with extremely high humidity….and yes, they were wearing full, formal, 1787 attire….can you imagine? THESE MEETINGS WERE EVERY DAY UNTIL OCTOBER!)
