VIRGINIA PLAN  Stronger National Government with powers divided between 3 branches Executive: enforce laws Judicial: interpret laws Legislative (Congress): make laws—Will be most Powerful of the three branches  The Legislative Branch will gain the following powers: To regulate trade between two or more states To get rid of state laws that it considered to be in violation of the national constitution To call forth the armed forces of the nation against a state, if necessary, to enforce the laws passed by Congress To make and enforce national laws To tax the people To elect people to serve in the executive and judicial branches of government

REPRESENTATION IN LEGISLATURE  The members of House of Representatives will be elected directly by the people of each state.  A Senate will be elected by the members of the House of Representative from lists of persons nominated by the legislature of each state.  The number of representative from each state in both the House and the Senate will be based on the size of its population

NEW JERSEY PLAN  Executive branch -several persons appointed by Congress. They would have the power to enforce national laws, appoint other executive officials, and direct all military operations.  Judicial branch -A supreme court would be appointed by the executive branch. It would have the power to decide cases involving treaties, trade among the states or with other nations, and the collection of taxes.

NEW JERSEY PLAN: LEGISLATIVE BRANCH  Legislative branch Congress would have only one house, as in the Confederation, and it would be given the following increased powers: Taxes. The national government would be given the power to raise import duties and a stamp tax to raise money for its operations The power to collect money from the states if they refused to pay. Trade. Congress would be given the power to regulate trade among the states and with other nations. Control over the states.
