  Students Re-Enact the Constitutional Convention web posted October 31, 2008  JOHNSTON – Strom
Thurmond students in
Ms. Denise Jackson's history classes held a simulation of the Constitutional
Convention project this past week. Each student was assigned a role of
character of the delegates from the Constitutional Convention of
1787. The Virginia Plan was introduced and debated by the students followed by the presenting of the Connecticut Compromise and debates. A lengthy debate was held on how the federal government would raise money, and great fearful discussions of the executive power and method of the selection of a President as well as the provision to attach a Bill of Rights were heard. (Pictured above - left to right) are the delegates representing South Carolina: Nolan Seigler-John Rutledge; Felicia Jones-Charles Pinckney; Kathlyn Durham-Pierce Butler and Malcolm Cook representing Hugh Williams of North Carolina. Placing the timeline in order, the students voice that it was late September and they were tired, homesick and wanted to come to a vote on the Constitution. The Constitution was accepted by the Simulated Convention and the final remark of “All Is Good” was registered by the modern day delegates over the process of establishing the nations Constitution. ©
