Abstract
The purpose of this research project was to determine the most influential delegates, states, and regions at the 1787 Constitutional Convention by looking at sources of observable influence. RQ1: Are states or regions equally represented on committees? Are committees a source of observable influence? RQ2: Does population of a state or region determine influence? RQ3: Are individual delegates, states, or regions who attended the Annapolis Convention more influential than those who didn´t attend? The team hypothesized that: The states and regions would not be equally represented and that the committees would be a source of influence. A state or region with a larger population would have a higher influence score. Those who attended the Annapolis convention would have a higher influence score than those who did not.
