It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Flies, Fights, and the Constitutional Convention", which is likely a creative or humorous way to describe the challenges faced during the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. However, since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the text or content of the worksheet so I can help solve the problems.
But based on the visible parts of your image (as described in your message), here’s what I can infer:
The worksheet appears to be about the
Constitutional Convention of 1787, with questions related to:
- The difficulties in reaching agreement
- Key figures like George Washington
- The role of compromise (e.g., the Great Compromise)
- The process of creating the Constitution
Here are likely answers to the types of questions that might appear on this worksheet, assuming standard historical knowledge:
---
Question 1:
> Some of the problems the new country faced under the Articles of Confederation included...
Answer:
- No power to tax
- No power to regulate trade
- Weak central government
- Inability to enforce laws
- States could print their own money
- No national army or navy
Summarize the general problem:
The central government under the Articles of Confederation was too weak to effectively govern the nation, leading to economic instability, interstate conflicts, and national security concerns.

Question 2:
> When did the meeting about the problems finally begin?
> Where was it held?
> Who was the president of the Grand Convention?
Answer:
-
When: May 25, 1787
-
Where: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (in Independence Hall)
-
President: George Washington

Question 3:
> There were many compromises reached by the delegates... One example is the
Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise), which created a bicameral legislature.
Answer:
-
What was the compromise?
The Great Compromise established a two-house legislature:
- The
House of Representatives (based on population)
- The
Senate (equal representation for each state)
-
Why was it needed?
Large states wanted representation based on population; small states wanted equal representation. This compromise balanced both interests.
-
Who was the opponent to one side?
Opponents of proportional representation (large states) included smaller states like New Jersey, who feared being overshadowed. Opponents of equal representation (small states) included larger states like Virginia.
