Presentation transcript:

Or at least a less bad one. The “Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union” drafted during the revolution. Very weak: No executive, no courts, and no power of enforcement. No power of taxation, only petition. Required 9/13 (69%!) agreement for legislation Unanimity for changes! Government meets in Annapolis in 1786, decides to meet in Philadelphia in 1787 to fix things.

 The “Large State” Plan  Proposed by James Madison  A Totally New System  Bicameral Legislature  Both houses apportioned by population  Executive chosen by Lower House  Upper House chosen by Lower House  “Small State” Plan  In response to Madison’s plan  A Revision of the Articles  Unicameral Legislature  One state, One Vote  New Powers  Taxation  Enforcement  Multi-Person Executive (picked by Congress) Many ideas are proposed and debated. Virginia’s PlanNew Jersey’s Plan Two plans eventually come to the fore.

Bicameral Legislature Upper House (Senate) Every state gets two members. Chosen by state legislatures. (this will change… eventually) Lower House (of Representatives) Apportioned by Population Chosen by direct election The idea is proposed of a bicameral legislature: an upper house where each state has equal influence, and a lower house where each state has influence based on population. “Population” becomes a point of contention among slaveholding states. States with large slave populations want slaves counted for population But not for taxation! (Who is surprised, really?) 3/5 ths Compromise: 5 Slaves = 3 People
