Def of Constitutional Convention : meeting held in 1787 to consider changes to Articles of Confederation

I have to write an example of the Constitutional Convention. What would that be

There have been many constitutional conventions. One example is the American Constitutional Convention in 1787.

An example of the Constitutional Convention is the debate and negotiations that occurred during the convention in 1787 regarding the structure and powers of the new federal government. One specific example is the discussion and compromise surrounding the issue of representation in the legislative branch. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which benefited larger states. On the other hand, the New Jersey Plan advocated for equal representation for all states. It was through extensive deliberations and compromises that the Great Compromise was reached, which established a bicameral legislature consisting of the House of Representatives (based on population) and the Senate (with equal representation for each state). This example illustrates how different delegates from various states came together to address a critical issue and find a solution that satisfied both large and small states, contributing to the creation of the United States Constitution.
