THE CONSTITUTION

VIRGINIA PLAN Three Branches- legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislature was more powerful, as it chose people to serve in the executive and judicial branches. Legislature Two houses (bicameral). The House of Representatives was elected by the people and the Senate was elected by the state legislatures. Both were represented proportionally. Other Powers The legislature could regulate interstate trade, strike down laws deemed unconstitutional and use armed forces to enforce laws.

THE NEW JERSEY PLAN Branches Three- legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislature appoints people to serve in the executive branch, and the executive branch selects the justices of the Supreme Court. Legislature- One house (unicameral) represented equally Other Powers The national government could levy taxes and import duties, regulate trade, and state laws would be subordinate to laws passed by the national legislature

CONNECTICUT PLAN Designed to keep the larger states happy Upper House’s (Senate) number of delegates based on equal representation Lower House’s (House) number of delegates based on proportional representation (House of Representatives)

Three-Fifths Compromise The number of representatives in the House is based on population So all “free persons” would be fully counted for tax purposes and representation but slaves would be counted as “three-fifths a free person”
