By that I mean that in most cultures with a prominent drum, the drum was used literally conversationally. Where we think of drums as keeping the time, traditional drums were used to communicate a vast amount of information; from battlefield assignments to religious ceremonies and everything in between. In almost every culture, the drum has been used in come capacity to communicate information.


The Talking Drums
The instruments, however, were often prohibited or restricted by authorities because drums could be used to spread a message of defiance among slaves as well as to petition the gods.

The Story of Frankincense
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. We all know what gold is, but what are frankincense and myrrh? Both frankincense and myrrh start as a resinous sap inside a special family of trees that grow almost exclusively in the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. At certain times of year the trees are cut with special knives, and the sap oozes out. Once the sap has dried in the sun, it is ready to be used. Harvested frankincense and myrrh are burned as incense because of their pleasing aromas, but historically they have a number of other uses as well:


The Story of Frankincense
The Three Wise Men: The traditional telling of the Christmas story include a key moment where Wise men from the East arrive and present the Christ child with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

New Hampshire lawmakers consider hiking fees on dam owners
The 1996 failure of a private dam in Alton, near Lake Winnipesaukee, caused one death, numerous power outages and extensive damage to highways and homes. In the aftermath, the state instituted a program of inspecting dams to try to avert such a tragedy from happening again. Now, the program that oversees those inspections is running short on funds.


-
41.3 Causes of Dam Failures The incident of failures demonstrate that depending on the type of dam, the cause of failure may be classified as: a. hydraulic failures; (for all types of dams) b. failures due to seepage. (i) through foundation, (all except arch dams) (ii) through body of dam (embankment dam) c. failures due to stresses developed within structure. Arch dams fail instantaneously, whereas the gravity dams take some multiples of 10 minutes.A study of dam failures in the world has revealed the percentage distribution of dam breaks and its attributes causes of failure (Table) Table: Causes of failures Cause of failure Cause of failure Foundation problems 40 % Inadequate spillway 23 % Poor construction 12 % Uneven settlement 10 % High pore pressure 5 % Acts of war 3 %


The top issues facing the dam community are the:
Adequate understanding of proper dam maintenance and upgrade techniques is a typical problem among many owners across the United States. Some groups put forth the message that dams are bad for the environment and advocate their removal.


FOX43 Finds Out: Hundreds of Pennsylvaniaâs dams are considered âHigh Hazardâ
There's still a need for funding and I think that's why we got a lower grade, said Roger Adams, the Chief of the Dam Safety Division with the Department of Environmental Protection. He says 800 dams are considered high hazard.


-
Dam failures may result in the quick release of all the water in the lake. In the event of a dam failure, the energy of the water stored behind the dam is capable of causing rapid and unexpected flooding downstream, resulting in loss of life and great property damage downstream of the dam. Hazard Profile Failure of a major dam is an unlikely event. If a major dam should fail, however, the severity of impact could be substantial. It could cause multiple deaths, completely shut down facilities for thirty days or more, and cause more than fifty percent of affected properties to be destroyed or severely damaged. Figure 15-1. Dam Failure Hazard


1976 Teton Dam Collapse
All three seeps formed downsteam of the north side of the dam, but none were considered serious hazards. The final report to the Department of the Interior (DOI) entitled Failure of Teton Dam: A report of findings, noted that geologists ârecognized early that the reservoir rim could transmit water in large quantities and that seepage from the reservoir could occur.â


4 Hidden Causes of Dam Failures
Another problem is the rising number of orphan dams, which no longer serve a useful purpose and often end up in a state of disrepair. Although there is a growing movement to remove such structures, in part to restore wildlife habitat, the process is expensive and funding is limited.


1976 Teton Dam Collapse
After the dam collapsed, many argued that officials filled the reservoir too quickly, but after exhaustive research, investigators found that the rapid filling rate did not cause the collapse. The Teton Dam appear to be progressing perfectly without any major problems, but trouble approached as the water neared the spillway. On June 3, an inspection team downstream of the dam found clear water seeping from the ground at two locations: one at 1300 feet and another at 1500 feet downstream.

Li (Neo-Confucianism)
The sum of li is the Taiji. This idea resembles the Buddhist notion of li, which also means principle. Zhu Xi maintained, however, that his notion is found in I Ching (Book of Changes), a classic source of Chinese philosophy. Zhu Xi's school came to be known as the School of Li, which is comparable to rationalism.

industrial revolution
Before the Industrial Revolution, goods were handmade and produced in the rural cottages of the individuals making the product. Eventually, the cottage industry became inefficient and new machines were invented to speed processes up. These machines could only be operated in factories.


Lowell Mill Girls and the factory system, 1840
Many observers saw this challenge to the traditional roles of women as a threat to the American way of life. Others criticized the entire wage-labor factory system as a form of slavery and actively condemned and campaigned against the harsh working conditions and long hours and the increasing divisions between workers and factory owners.


Urbanization & Other Effects of the Industrial Revolution: Social & Economic Impacts
Working Conditions. Conditions in factories were deplorable as well. Those workers who had come from agricultural backgrounds were faced with a big adjustment. While farming required irregular hours and periods of work alternating with rest, the factory system required constant labor.


-
Opposition of reform. 1  The economist Nassau Senior argued that increased costs would ruin the industry, which made a major contribution to the wealth of the country. (This was later found to be wrong as better fed, less tired workers produced more, not less.)


25d. The First American Factories
While many people were trying to carve out a new existence in states and territories continually stretching to the West, another group pioneered the American Industrial Revolution. They developed new, large forms of business enterprise that involved the use of power-driven machinery to produce products and goods previously produced in the home or small shop.


-
This led to the high rise in child labor in factories. Children were not treated well, overworked, and underpaid for a long time before anyone tried to change things for them. Wages and Hours: Children as young as six years old during the industrial revolution worked hard hours for little or no pay.


Industrial Revolution
Interesting Facts about the Factory System. In order to fight dangerous working conditions and long hours, workers began to form unions and strike. Early factories used water for power and were usually located along a river. Later factories were powered by steam and, eventually, electricity.


Factory system
Factory system: Factory system, system of manufacturing that began in the 18th century and is based on the concentration of industry into specializedâand often largeâestablishments. The system arose in the course of the Industrial Revolution. The factory system replaced the domestic system, in which individual


History Chapter 19 Section 3
Factory work created a double burden for women. Their new jobs took them out of their homes for 12 hours or more a day. They then returned to their tenements, which might consist of one damp room with a single bed. They had to feed and clothe their families, clean, and cope with such problems as sickness and injury.


Lowell Mill Girls
As the nature of the new factory system became clear, however, many women joined the broader American labor movement, to protest the dramatic social changes of the Industrial Revolution. While they decried the deteriorating factory conditions, worker unrest in the 1840s was directed mainly against the loss of control over economic life.


The Black Death
There were many manifestations of the Black Death in Eurasia during the 14th century, but four main symptomatic forms of the plague emerged at the forefront of historical records: the Bubonic Plague, the Pneumonic Plague, the Septicemic Plague, and the Enteric Plague.

Learn and revise about the Black Death, a plague in the Middle Ages which killed an estimate 20 million deaths in Europe, with BBC Bitesize KS3 History.


When did the Black Death Start and End??
The Black Death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347 when 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey through the Black Sea. The people who gathered on the docks to greet the ships were met with a horrifying surprise: Most of the sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those who were still alive were gravely ill.

The Signs of Impending Death. The symptoms were not the same as in the East, where a gush of blood from the nose was the plain sign of inevitable death; but it began both in men and women with certain swellings in the groin or under the armpit. They grew to the size of a small apple or an egg, more or less, and were vulgarly called tumours.


Plague
What are the symptoms? Symptoms usually develop within 1 to 3 days after you are exposed to airborne droplets of plague bacteria. Pneumonia begins quickly, with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery sputum. Other symptoms include fever, headache, and weakness. Is it contagious? Pneumonic plague is contagious.


What were the symptoms of Black Death?
The Black Death came in three forms, the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Each different form of plague killed people in a vicious way. All forms were caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis. The bubonic plague was the most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The mortality rate was 30-75%. The symptoms were enlarged and inflamed lymph nodes (around arm pits, neck and groin). The term 'bubonic' refers to the characteristic bubo or enlarged lymphatic gland.

The Black Death Takes over Britain. The same rumours that had been whispered about the Far East across Europe had transformed into whispers about Europe that were floating around England. The Black Death reached England in 1348, and it created the same sense of panic and fear as it did in Sicily.


The Plague
The plague is a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly. Sometimes referred to as the âblack plague,â the disease is caused by a bacterial strain called Yersinia pestis. This bacterium is found in animals throughout the world and is usually transmitted to humans through fleas.

Origin of the Boxer Dog
The goal was to build its size and create a dog that was brave. As the bravery trait started to stand out, Boxers started to be used as guard dogs. Within just a few generations, the focus from hunting faded (more and more terrier type dogs were used for that) and the breed began to interact more with families as they stood guard at owner's homes.

Use treats, toys and praise to lure and motivate him. Good outlets for a Boxerâs energy include playing fetch, going for an hour-long walk or training for agility or another dog sport. At least one Boxer is titled in herding, which is one of the breedâs original functions. Their ancestors included all-purpose farm dogs whose jobs included catching and driving livestock. With structure, discipline and lots of exercise and mental stimulation, a Boxer can become the dog of your dreams.


Boxer
This was done in Munich in 1895, and the next year they founded the first Boxer Club. The breed became known in other parts of Europe in the late 1890s. Around 1903, the first Boxers were imported into the U.S. The first Boxer was registered by the American Kennel Club in 1904, a dog named Arnulf Grandenz. In 1915, the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized the first Boxer champion, Sieger Dampf v Dom, owned by Governor and Mrs. Lehman of New York.


Boxer
The Boxer was developed in Germany in the 19th century. The Boxer's ancestors were two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer. They were later crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog.


Boxer - History and Health
For a period of time, European Boxers probably were used in bull-baiting â a betting-manâs âsportâ that eventually was outlawed. In 1894, three Germans took steps to stabilize and exhibit the breed, which they did in Munich in 1895 for the first time and thereby brought Boxers to widespread prominence. The following year, the first German club devoted to the breed was founded as the Deutsche Boxer Club of Munich. The initial German breed standard was adopted in 1902, but was vigorously debated for several years by rival Boxer breeders and clubs. Boxers were used to carry messages, ammunition and supplies during both World Wars. Returning soldiers brought some of these dogs to this country, where their popularity grew. The first Boxer was registered with the American Kennel Club in 1904; the first AKC championship was earned in 1915; and the American Boxer Club was founded in 1935.


Boxer (dog)
Boxer is also the name of a dog owned by John Peerybingle, the main character in the best-selling 1845 book The Cricket on the Hearth by Charles Dickens, which is evidence that Boxer was commonly used as a dog name by the early 19th century, before the establishment of the breed by the end of that same century.

Boxerâs War Service
The Boxer is a dog breed known for its habit of getting up on its hind legs and using its paws as though it were boxing, hence its name. The boxer was recognized as an efficient working dog in the early 1900s. This led the German military to approve it as the first breed well-suited for military work.

The Myth of the Middle Class: Have Most Americans Always Been Poor?
An Accurate But Limited Response to the Myth of the Middle Class. A rational and historically informed response to the legend of the middle class is that this alleged stratum of the 1920s and the Golden Age existed for a mere 34 years of American history. Before the1920s just about all working-class peole were poor.


Can the Middle Class Be Saved?
I n political speeches and in the media, the future of the middle class is often used as a stand-in for the future of America. Yet of course the two are not identical. The size of the middle class has waxed and waned throughout U.S. history, as has income inequality.


Can the Middle Class Be Saved?

The Myth of the Middle Class: Have Most Americans Always Been Poor?
A common, and spot on, rejoinder has been to remind us that America has always had a sizable class of permanently poor people and that it is just factually false that those ready, willing and able to work are on the path to middle class status.


The Myth of the Middle Class: Have Most Americans Always Been Poor?
The First Working-Class Middle Class: the Roaring Twenties Of course not everyone can get rich, for roughly the same reason that not everyone can be very tall. But most of us are supposed to be able to enjoy the comforts that many Americans enjoyed after the Second World War and earlier, in economically pubescent form, during the Roaring Twenties.


The Myth of the Middle Class: Have Most Americans Always Been Poor?
The middle class was a departure from the historic norm of a materially insecure working class, the default position of industrial capitalism. That response, accurate as it is, harbors a deeper myth that disguises a virtually unremarked and scandalous feature of the history of the U.S. working class, namely that it has always been poor.


The Myth of the Middle Class: Have Most Americans Always Been Poor?
There never was a middle class, not in the sense in which that concept is meant to pack the punch intended by capitalist apologetics. If thatâs so, the U.S. has never been a ârich country.â. The matter hinges on what is meant by âmiddle classâ. This is no âmerelyâ semantic question.

Renaissance This page from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes the Renaissance and how it came to be. The New Middle Class As the fortunes of merchants, bankers, and tradespeople improved, they had more than enough money to meet their basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. They began to desire larger, more luxurious homes, fine art for these residences, sumptuous clothing to show off their wealth in public, and exotic delicacies to eat. These desires of the middle class stimulated the economy. From The Western Tradition series. The middle-class population also had leisure time to spend on education and entertainment. In fact, education was essential for many middle-class professions. Bankers and accountants needed to understand arithmetic.

History of tessellations?
Tessellations date back to the early Greeks. The word tesseres means four in Greek, and tessellation was derived from it. Greeks used quadrilateral tiles in their mosaics, making a tessellation. Since then, these tilings became more diverse in shapes.

The other tessellations on the top row have a (3,4,6,4), a (3,12,12), and a (3,3,3,4,4) configuration. These configurations are unique up to cyclic reordering (and possibly reversing the order). For example (3,12,12) can also be written as (12,12,3) or (12,3,12).


Tessellation
These tiles may be polygons or any other shapes. Many tessellations are formed from a finite number of prototiles in which all tiles in the tessellation are congruent to the given prototiles. If a geometric shape can be used as a prototile to create a tessellation, the shape is said to tessellate or to tile the plane.


Tessellation
Historically, tessellations were used in Ancient Rome and in Islamic art such as in the decorative geometric tiling of the Alhambra palace. In the twentieth century, the work of M. C. Escher often made use of tessellations, both in ordinary Euclidean geometry and in hyperbolic geometry, for artistic effect.

There is no question that from its name, we can make out that the five armies involved are: elves, dwarves, men, goblins and wargs (but also including eagles â to which I refer later on).

In his review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, David Bratman makes the astute observation that the title of the film goes unexplained. Tolkien, in contrast, makes it quite clear in the book (The Annotated Hobbit, ed. Douglas A. Anderson, p. 339): So began a battle that none had expected; and it was called the Battle of Five Armies, and it was very terrible. Upon one side were the Goblins and the Wild Wolves, and upon the other were Elves and Men and Dwarves. There we have it. The five armies refer to the Goblins, Wolves, Elves, Men and Dwarves. Case closed? Well, not quite.

Goals Of The New Deal
The New Deal had several goals. The main goals were to provide relief to our people and to get our economy going again. When the Great Depression began, many Americans lost their jobs and their life savings. When Roosevelt was elected President, unemployment was at 25%. Thus, Roosevelt immediately went to work to begin his New Deal program.


What are the remarkable achievements made by the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt?
In spite of the above defect, it cannot be denied that the New Deal had remarkable achievements to its credit. A number of measures adopted by New Deal Administration have survived the test of the time and have come to stay in society. Some of the prominent accomplishments of the New Deal Administration were as Mows: 1. It helped a large number of people, caught in the worst depression in American history, by providing them jobs, financing farm and home mortgages. Though vigorous banking policy the administration saved many people from grave difficulty.


What the New Deal Accomplished
The New Deal effectively ended in 1939, amid doubts about Rooseveltâs leadership and under the shadow of war, as a work in progress. To a great extent it is still unfinished.


New Deal
Even the work programs of the First New Deal were just meant as immediate relief, destined to run less than a decade. The most important program of 1935 and perhaps the New Deal as a whole was the Social Security Act, drafted by Frances Perkins.


The New Deal

The Legions of Lettow are connected to the Sith in that they ultimately share the same origin - the Jedi Order. So there are considerable commonalities between the groups, just as there are commonalities between true Sith groups and otherwise unaffiliated Dark Jedi.

Ban Zhao (c. 45âc. 120 ce)
The apogee of Ban Zhao's influence at court came in the reign of the Empress Deng , who both recognized Ban Zhao as her tutor and consulted with her on court matters. While we cannot be sure, it is probable that Ban Zhao's most famous work, the Lessons for Women, was written at about this time. One of the central domestic problems of the Confucian family was how to create an orderly home life.

Ban Zhao. The first female Chinese historian, Ban Zhao (c. 45â120) wrote Nu Jie (Lessons for Women), a treatise on how women of the period should behave, which became central to the Chinese gender system for two millennia. The book made Ban one of the most respected female authors in China until social mores changed dramatically in the 20th Century.


Stories from History: Ban Zhao
Of course culture does come into question of whether Ban Zhao and other women like her are right or wrong, but the negative effects that writings like these have had on women in literature and society are due to the fact that these texts were blown out of proportion by the late men and women alike.

Ban Zhao: Scholar of Han Dynasty China
Born in the town of Anling, Ban Zhao was the daughter of Ban Biao (3â54), an erudite scholar and a popular magistrate of Wangdu County (now in Hebei province). She had two elder brothers, Ban Gu and Ban Chao, both of whom became famous in different areas.


Ban Zhao
Ban Zhao contributed greatly to the completion and transmission of Hanshu (æ±ä¹¦ literally the Book of the [Former] Han), the official dynastic history of the Western Han. After Ban Gu was imprisoned and died in 92 because of his association with the family of Empress Dowager Dou, Ban Zhao helped finish the work by making up for the missing part of the Babiao (å«è¡¨ Eight Tables).


Ban Zhao: Scholar of Han Dynasty China
Ban Zhao had become close to the royal family while she served as a tutor at the Dongguan Imperial Library. She was thus granted access to all books and archives in the library for teaching and writing purposes. Ban Zhao was also a teacher in the Han imperial court.

Human Chromosome 2
First, the banding (or dye pattern) of human chromosome 2 closely matches that of two separate chromosomes found in apes (chimp chromosome 2 and an extra chromosome that does not match any other human chromosome). Second, a chromosome normally has one centromere, or central point at which a chromosome's two identical strands are joined.

Difference between Male and Female Chromosomes
The mystery lies in the chromosomes. The knowledge of chromosomes is essential for understanding human genetics. The field has attracted much research and everyday there are ongoing discoveries. Human cells consist of 46 chromosomes which make 23 pairs. In males and females, the first 22 are similar across both genders and are known as autosomes. The last one pair (23rd) is known as the sex chromosome and makes all the difference.


Human Chromosome 2
More recent research has propped up Darwin's theory of common descent (also called common ancestry): genome analysis reveals the genetic difference between humans and chimps to be less than 2 percent. In other words, humans and chimps have DNA sequences that are greater than 98 percent similar. While the genetic similarity between human and ape strengthened Darwin's theory, a significant, unexplained discrepancy remained. While great apes all have 48 chromosomes (24 pairs), humans have only 46 (23 pairs).


Human Chromosome 2
In particular, it explains that humans have one fewer chromosome pair in their cells than apes, due to a mutation found in chromosome number 2 that caused two chromosomes to fuse into one. Credits: Â© 2007 WGBH Educational Foundation and Clear Blue Sky Productions, Inc. All rights reserved.

When and why does the body convert protein to glucose?!?
When your body needs glucose it will convert only what it needs from protein. I hope this helps. that's just some BS number...if u have to much protein at once for YOUR body to handle 300lb guy could eat 100g of protein in a meal and have it all used but a 100lb guy would only need 15-20g. didn't know that myself.


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
And, does converting protein to glycogen create negative effects on the body as this seems to be a unique process. Thank you for anyone who has any advice or who has tried to help. Answer Add Comment 9 Comments Follow Question


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
180 grams of fat = 18 grams of glucose 20 grams of protein = 20 grams of glucose. and there you have it. Conversion of protein to glucose is as normal as any other bodily function and occurs when dietary protein is consumed or during glucose 'starvation' from muscle stores.


When and why does the body convert protein to glucose?!?
in order of preference, these are the body's fuels: simple carbs, complex carbs, fat then protein. protein does not convert to glucose. in drastic situations the human body is capable of breaking down protein in to the individual amino acid units which can enter the TCA system and produce ATP as an energy source.


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
Amount of carbohydrate required by brain ~100 Breakdown of 180 grams of TG 18 Breakdown of 75 grams of protein 75 Total carbohydrate produced per day 93 in the liver. Once keto-adapted the brain will use much less glycogen and instead use ketones. Keto-Adapted brain needs less than 40 grams/day.


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
little postprandial hepatic glycogen synthesis takes place if gluconeogenesis is inhibited. 1  approx 40% of liver glycogen repletion could be from lactate. 2  the availability of lactate or its uptake by the liver determines the rate of glycogen synthesis, within the range set by the glucose concentration.


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
under normal re- feeding conditions the bulk of liver glycogen is formed by an indirect pathway involving the sequence glucose- lactate- glucose-6-P - glycogen, whereas muscle glycogen is formed by the conventional, direct pathway: glucose - glucose-6-P - glycogen.


Breaking Down Fat and Protein for Glycogen
Dietary proteins are converted to glucose at about fifty-eight percent efficiency, so approximately 100g of protein can produce 58g of glucose via gluconeogenesis.[v] During prolonged fasting, glycerol released from the breakdown of triglycerides in body fat may account for nearly twenty percent of gluconeogenesis.[vi] Body fats are stored as triglycerides, molecules that contain three fatty acids combined with glycerol.


-
Your right and Im wrong: The amount of glucose that can be synthesized from a protein depends on its amino acid (AA) composition. This value is about 60 g from 100 g of liver or muscle protein and is based on a knowledge of the total AA content and the proportion of each AA that can be converted to pyruvate.


Why did people move West in the 1840s?
Many of the soldiers who took part in this effort got scrip (paper which authorized them to file for free on public land). Then, of course, in 1849 gold was found in California. Moreover, by the '40's, people had been hearing for 20 years or so about the Mountain Men, the Santa Fe Trade, and other aspects of the West, and they were fascinated.


-
Free land. I still find it amazing that people think there was no system of welfare in early American history. My family moved West in the 1830s because they were sick of trying to make a living on a worn-out Midwest farm. They got all the way to Wyoming, where the Father (my Great Grandfather)found work in a mine.


Why did people move West in the 1840s?
Many people lost their jobs/homes/farms/businesses and needed to start over. Second, the Oregon Country became part of the US (before that it had been jointly administered with England), and the entire swath of territory from Texas west to California and north into Nevada and Colorado was conquered from Mexico.


-
People started moving West in the 1840s because there was a shortage of arable farmland in the East. Also, there was a large influx of immigration and the Eastern cities were becoming very overcrowded.


What attracted people from around the world to the American West?
The Gold Rush, was the main reason people moved west. Also, free land attracted many Chinese and African American men. Many Chinese men worked at gold mines and the African Americans farmed freely. The Chinese risked being beheaded if they were found escaping from China. Source: American History textbook


What attracted people from around the world to the American West?
Many people were attracted west because of free land or the chance of finding gold.


-
Jefferson drew on ideas of Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers. He asserted that people had a number of natural rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The American Revolution was important to people around the world, because it represented a fight for freedom, and because Americans carried out Enlightenment ideas.


-
When those Mormons discovered gold in California, news traveled fast and soon the rush to collect gold had mass migrations of people coming west in hopes of getting rich quick. So, ultimately there were four reasons: to escape from a confining life, to find religious freedom, to fight a war, and to make a quick fortune.


-
The America frontier continually extended west from the first settlements at the start of the 17th century until the USA spread from sea to sea. Some of the people who moved west in the 1840s were doing so for the same reasons as in the 1740s and the 1640s -- to find livelihoods of their own further from the growing city centers further east.

Key Debates from the Constitutional Convention
The first issue that called for compromise during the Constitutional Convention was the issue of representation in Congress. There was debate on whether each state should still only have one vote (much like it was under the Articles) or should representation be determined proportionally on things like population.


Key Debates from the Constitutional Convention
Thus, Congress went back to the drawing board and called for a new Constitutional Convention.
