Great Compromise

Large States v Small States Virginia Plan (Edmund Randolph) v New Jersey Plan (William Paterson) Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise) Roger Sherman Roger Sherman

The VA Plan The Virginia Plan Branches Three - 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 NJ Plan 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). States would be represented equally, so all states had the same power. 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.

The Great Compromise (The Connecticut Compromise) Debate over Large States v Small States A Bicameral Legislature Each state would have a number of delegates based on population as members of the House of Representatives (large states favored) Each state would have 2 delegates regardless of size as members of the Senate (small states favored)
