Write a 350-400 word response for each of the two following questions. In your answers, use clear and precise language and provide evidence (including direct quotations) drawn from the sources. You do not need to include full citations, but you should include the relevant page numbers for direct quotations. The two questions pertain to the two Conflict Over the Constitution readings. You may also make reference to the draft of the US Constitution. Question (1) Both Patrick Henry and James Madison were part of the Virginia planter class, but they disagreed over the Constitution. How do you account for that? What important ideas, experiences, or events influenced them to take opposite sides? Question (2) What were Madisons principal arguments for the Constitution? What were Henrys principal arguments against it? Whose arguments do you think would have been more persuasive to ordinary Americans in this era? Why?
