In life at least once everyone or a small group of people would feel the same. For example, I think this group of people would feel like they are nothing and treated unfairly. One reason is because they were not added in the Constitution. Another reason is because they think that some of the people in this group are property not regular people. Plus another reason is because everyone in this group will fell mixed emotions. These are reasons to explain on how I think this group of people would feel about the Constitution Convention in 1787.

There are many ways that they feel about the constitutional convention.


The way that the group feels is maybe mad, sad, unjust, tired and there are other ways that I can describe the way that they feel about the constitutional convention.The people might feel angry because they don't get their way of doing what they want to do. For example, living the way they want to, doing things that make them happy, and being able to take a break when they want to.Another way they might feel as slaves is tired. For example, they been working in the hot sunny fields for a lot of hours so they feel tired and sweaty, ad need to take a drink of water to cool off.Slaves work hard everyday in the hot wheather so I know that they always are going to runaway for a reason.For may reasons why I think they feel tired, angry, and sad.

Personally I don't think that my group would have not like the constitutional convention. I say this for a couple of reasons. They're were a lot of different problems with slavery at the convention. Like if they should be banned and included in taxes and slave trades every twenty years. This would cause a problem for my group because they live of the work and everything else that the slaves do for them. SO personally I don't think that my group would feel good about the convention.

from the view of of a white woman in slave times was difficult because they had no rights just like blacks and then they expect the the women to do all the choirs and women had ho say in the law or in town meetings they just had to stay quiet and look sophisticated with understanding and after they try to talk about politics when they hardly get a chance to speak and they clean the barns as well and cook the food.

Well I think this group feels as though they were being left out of the constitutional convention. They feel like how can these English people do this to us.They should have a freedom of speech to this decision.

The white woman perspective is very different from other people.White woman are mad that they don't have no rights at all but there husband do. The constitutional did not fix the problem it just mask it.I did not say that white woman don't have that right to own property.It don,t say give the right white woman to become a goverment official.So a lot of white woman are unhappy about the constitutional and to them they feel it nead to be updated.

How the Northern Merchants and Bankers would feel about the Constitutional Convention in 1787 is that is stupid.Why i say that is because there were debtors people who owe money to pay debts.Like a banker would loan out $100 and get back a bushel and a cow.They think that the state legislatures have too much power.they also said maybe if the poor people didnt vote that stuff wouldnt happen

The perspective of one person isn't all ways the perspective of the other. A perspective is a point of notion someone gives on a certain topic. The congregation I'm apart of is "Male Southern Plantation Owner". My congregation would consider that the Constitutional Convention would better them. The constitution

A African American would feel sad because they would be owned by slave owners and they would think there not equal.A white woman would feel normal because they would be treated more fairly then colored people.If you was native American you would also feel sad because your land that you have been living in for the past Century has been taking over by the white man.They would be going threw hell for the first 7 years in America then they would feel like a normal person because they would be free.If you were a Male Southern Plantation Owner would feel like like a king because they own slaves and there own land.Last but not least if you were a

As a [white woman] I wouldn't like the Constitutional convention in 1787. the reason is that growing up whites didn't like blacks. So the whites liked having them work. And obviously if the c.c tried to eliminate slavery. There would be some hatred there/

In my perspective I didn't really understand what is going on but I know something.The Northern Merchants and Bankers mostly own the countries in the west like French,dutch,the Spanish and Portuguese.

Everyone should be treated with respect. From a perspective of Male Southern Plantation Owner, they treat people like property rather than humans. Black slaves get treated with no respect.

I think that this is not fair. White men had power over colored men. I think that colored men should have d same privileges as the white men. I think colored men and white men should have the same amount of money.
I think what they did back then was not fair. This is what i think about Male Southern Plantation Owners.
