Delaware supported the idea that representation should be equal among all the states. this is because Delaware was a small state. Therefore they would have less representation. They also supported the idea of slaves not counting as population. this is because the South had more slaves then them. So if slaves did count, Delaware would still have a less population.
Delaware also believed that there should be 3 branches in the government, the executive (president), the legislative (the congress) and the judicial (the supreme court). they also believed that the executive should have limited control because then the executive can't have total control. also the believed that the legislative and the judicial branch should be monitored by the state government
