All tables will go the following link: Constitutional Topics

Once there, assigned tables will read one of the specific plans talked about. Each group will:

• Read the summary of the plan (Secondary Source)
• Follow the link to the actual text of the plan (Primary Source)
• Identify the key Articles or passages of the primary source
• Prepare a summary of how the particular plans reveal regional perspective at the Convention (The United States of America are versus The United States of America is)

We then will discuss the plans as a class, with each group prepared to advocate for their particular plan.
