Explanation:

The Constitutional Convention in the United States occurred in the 70s. Its original goal was to revise the Articles of Confederation, but when the convention started, it changed its goal towards creating a new system of government. There were several issues and arguments that happened during the convention. One of which was whether they would consider "slaves" as part of the population when it comes to the election of the Senate. It also tackled on the export taxes (Export Taxation Clause).

The Constitutional Convention focused on particular or distinct sections that will be considered in creating the new system of the government.
