George Washington- elected president for the convention

What issues were debated?

Representation in Congress This political cartoon illustrates an issue discussed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The issue was over— Representation in Congress

Large states Small states B. Summarizing Use the chart below to summarize the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. 2.The New Jersey Plan proposed a legislature that consisted of: The Virginia plan proposed a legislature that consisted of: Two houses with representation according to population or wealth One house with each state having equal votes 4. Who supported the New Jersey Plan? 3. Who supported the Virginia Plan? Large states Small states 5. How did the Great Compromise settle this issue? It created a 2 house legislature: representation by population in one house equal representation for each state in the other house

C. Analyzing Points of View briefly explain the disagreement between Northerners and Southerners that was settled by the Three-Fifths Compromise. Southerners-wanted slaves to be counted for population but not for taxation Northerners-wanted slaves to be counted for taxation but not for representation. Three-Fifths Compromise counted 3/5s of the slave population for both representation and taxation.

Not only does each branch of the government have particular powers each branch has certain powers over the other branchs. This is done to keep them balanced and to prevent one branch form ever gaining too much power. For example: ________________________________________ Congress may pass laws........but the President can veto them. The President can veto laws.......but Congress can override the veto with a 2/3 vote. The President and Congreess may agree on a law..........but the Supreme Court can declare a law unconsitutional. The President can appoint Judges and other government officials.......but Senate must approve them. Supreme Court judges have life terms.......but they can be impeached .
