With a POD of 1786, when the Articles were basically seen as a dead end, what are other directions the Convention could have gone?? Although never a serious option, a Protestant German prince rule under a constitutional monarchy was considered. There, of course, was the Virginia plan(more pro-South), and the New Jersey one(more pro-North, and more like the Articles). The current system was essentially the Virginia plan with a more balanced "Senate". Given this was the eighteenth century, what is the most likely outcome for a document that could be passed that is not the one that did get made? Bonus points if said document is slightly more progressive on slavery(like a "one half" compromise).
