PLANS AND COMPRIMISE Creating the Constitution

Background Delegates begin work on May 25 th delegates from 12 states  Rhode Island did not attend  35 lawyers  Some were governors, wrote state constitutions, signed the Declaration of Independence, etc.

Constitutional Convention

Essential Question? How do we create a strong government capable of preserving order but not so strong that we suppress liberty?

What They Agreed On… The ideas of  Limited Government  Representative Government  3 branches of government  A need for a stronger national government

The Formation of Congress The Virginia Plan  Bicameral legislature  Proportional Representation  Strong national government divided into three parts  Congress could veto any state laws  Creation of national judiciary appointed by legislature The New Jersey Plan  Looked to refine the ideas of the Articles of Confederation  Believed in equal representation  Called for unicameral legislature  Each state would have one vote

Great Compromise (Conn. Compromise) Congress would be a bicameral legislature House of Representatives would be elected on the basis of proportional representation  All revenue and tax bills would have to originate in the House Senate would be elected on the basis of equal representation  State legislatures would elect senators because the general population lacked the education to make the right choices.
