And the debates about representation--should small (less populated) states get the same representation as more populated ones (which resulted in the compromise of equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation in the House) as well as the debate about what to do about slavery. And there was the debate about the nature of the office of the "head of state"--what to call it, how to elect it, what term to give it.

I think those were the big debates at the Convention.

The Hamilton-Jefferson debates (and the debate between their surrogates, their respective political parties) really took place in the 1790s and early 1800s, then it took on a new life of its own once the debate about slavery became a debate about "states' rights" and nullification.
