There were disagreements on almost everything. It was all settled by compromise and a last minute rush to get a document together. The delegates argued over slavery, number of representatives each state would have, the powers of the President, a Bill of Rights, power of the states. There was little agreement on anything except that the Articles of Confederation were inadequate.
