These meetings became known as the Constitutional Convention.
They argued a lot. Finally, everyone agreed to the words in the Constitution.
Now, nine states had to agree and approve the Constitution for it to become a legal document.

Students can match picture to picture or picture to word. The cards are numbered so that children can check their answers. I purposely made the word cards smaller, so that students can choose one of each size to make matches. You can also play an “I Have; Who Has?” game.
