UNIT 2 AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

LESSON 10 PAGES Why was representation a major issue at the Philadelphia Convention? Objective: Explain the differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan and the importance of the Great Compromise. Explain how the Framers addressed regional issues with the Three-Fifths Compromise and the provision for a periodic census of the population.

What were the disagreements about representation? Bicameral legislature- no problem Proportional Representation- major issue Madison: equal # of representatives for # of people NOT states. Others: argued for equal representation of states Large states: proportional representation Small state: equal representation Crisis– NJ asks for time to counter the VA Plan.

What was the New Jersey Plan? William Paterson of NJ presents. Keep framework of the AOC. Unicameral Legislature Powers increase: levy import duties & stamp tax, collect money from states who refused to pay, regulate trade w/ states and other nations, make laws, treaties. Executive Branch: - several persons appointed by congress Supreme Court: - appointed by executive branch Like AOC- Nat’l gov’t represents and acts on states, not the people.

What was the Great Compromise? Aka “Connecticut Compromise” (Roger Sherman & Oliver Ellsworth) HOR- proportional- elected by the people Senate- equal- each state has two HOR: Bills for taxing & gov’t spending Senate can accept or reject bills Passed by only ONE vote! Madison objected to the Compromise on the principle of majority rule.

Virginia Plan New Jersey Plan The Great Compromise

What was the significance of the Three- Fifths Compromise? How would free, enslaved and indentured people be counted in the population? Would owning more property = more representation? South- count slaves North- don’t count slaves

What was the significance of the Three- Fifths Compromise? What happened: Census taken every 10 years. For apportioning representatives in the HOR: Count each entire free person (including indentured servants) Count 3/5 of “all other persons” (slaves)

How did the delegates address the representation of new states? Census every 10 years. Reallocate or reapportion seats in the House based on shifts in the American population. Prime example– 2010 Census- SC gains a seat.
