Pierce probably deserves a D for his efforts and contribution to the Constitutional Convention. I believe he deserves a D because he had some positive and negative or little contribution to the constitution and the negative out weights the positive. For instance he positively affected the Constitutional Convention by drawing and sketching images of the delegates and conversations that had happened at the convention giving a better insight to the other delegates there and even the topics discussed at the Convention. In addition Pierce had some experience he brought to the Convention being in the Continental Congress and the Georgia House of Representatives, this also caused him to be extremely aware of the problems happening in Georgia. On the other hand William Pierce negatively affected the Convention because he was only there for about a month, from May 31st to June 30th and he was even absent for a week in this time service. He also contributed very little in these three weeks that he was actually present at the convention, only contributing to about 3 debates and topics over the time. Overall he had some small contributions, but the fact that he was barely there and barley argued or changed anything in his time there out weights the fact that he did some good things and brings his grade as a delegate at the Constitutional Convention, in my opinion, a D and I do not believe he contributed
