Some people that attended the Constitutional Convention included George Washington and James Madison. George Washington attended the Constitutional Convention and was unanimously elected its president. His role as the president of the Convention was mostly nonpartisan, overseeing debates between differing opinions of the convention members and ensuring order throughout the four-month ordeal. When James Madison and the other 56 delegates to the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in May 1787, they intended to revise the Articles of Confederation. They ended up creating a new constitution, and Madison, representing Virginia, became the chief recorder of information.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The Federal Housing Finance Agency, regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, announced that the two mortgage giants will now buy home loans that go into the government's forbearance program just after they close. Fannie and Freddie had not been doing that, and as a result, lending had tightened up dramatically. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac created a liquid secondary market for mortgages. This meant that financial institutions no longer had to hold onto the mortgages they originated. They could sell mortgages on the secondary market shortly after origination. Selling mortgages freed up funds for creating additional mortgages.
