Constitutional Convention
A Simulation
A Simulation
Dear Delegates,
We are met here to form a new government. Since this has never been done before in the history of the world, we have no guidelines to follow. Here are a few questions to ponder:
Who should have the powers to make the laws? Should we have a monarchy (where the king makes all of the laws) like England? Should we be a democracy (where all of the people make the laws) like ancient Greece, or should we be a republic (where the people elect representatives who make all of the laws) like ancient Rome?
These are just a few questions to ponder, and all must be solved in order for this constitution to succeed.
Please direct all comments and questions to the President of the convention and not to each other.
