1. Power to declare war

Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war. This ensures that the people's representatives are heard in considering when to send Americans off to war.

2. The regulate Commerce

This, known is as the Commerce Clause, is the foundation for much of the expansion of the Federal Government since the 1930s. It remains controversial in some circles but allows Congress to get involved in things you would normally think were reserved to the States.

3. Borrow on the credit of the US

The US has debt. The constitution allows for Congress to borrow to pay for things. We will see how this one turns out.

Describe the delegates to the Constitutional Convention and the core ideas they

Phantasy [73]

Each delegate from every state had attended the constitutional convention which was held in Philadelphia. The main goal or the agenda was to alter the articles of confederation which tended to be weak and it contained many flaws.

Explanation:

Huge debates and deliberations took place in the constitutional convention regarding the continuity or the abolition of the slave trade, representation in the legislature. Delegates appeared to be favoring and also arguing against these issues. larger states demanded for equal congressional representation whereas the small sates demanded proportional representation in the lower house. The Great compromise was signed by the delegates which clearly analysed the power and the representation of the states too.

The major issue which all delegates agreed upon without any difference of opinion is regarding the state and the central powers. Articles of confederation which was initially created appeared to be filled with many severe flaws such as States were given enormous powers to sign treaties and foreign policies with other countries, Central government was not given the power to rise army or collect taxes and the third major flaw is the absence of the supreme court.
