Each state had 1 vote in Congress (regardless of population) RI = 68,000 people VA = 747,000 people Is this fair?

Create a list of the top 5 current TV shows In order for a show to be approved… 9 of the 13 groups need to approve it Each group gets 1 vote

The Constitutional Convention Opened on May 25, 1787 Philadelphia, PA 55 delegates attended from all states (except RI)

“The Father of the Constitution” James Madison came to Philadelphia prepared, having read a variety of books on how to structure a government

The delegates kept their talks secret; they didn’t want outside pressure influencing their decisions so…they closed the windows I can’t hear what they’re saying…the window’s closed

Wow! It’s hot in here The closed windows made it extremely hot inside. New Englanders, who were accustomed to dressing in woolen suits, suffered terribly from the summer heat

Soon after the convention began, the delegates realized they couldn’t revise the Articles, instead they decided to write an entirely new Constitution With your row buddy, complete the plans and compromises made to form the new constitution. Throw it out It’s too weak Drain that 3!

James MadisonEdmund Randolph THE VIRGINIA PLAN THE VIRGINIA PLAN (favored by large states)  Called for a strong national government  3 branches (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial)  Legislative  2 houses  Seats awarded by state population  Executive  Judicial

THE NEW JERSEY PLAN THE NEW JERSEY PLAN (favored by small states)  3 branches (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial)  Legislative  1 house  Each state had 1 vote (regardless of population)  Executive  Judicial William Paterson

Roger Sherman THE GREAT COMPROMISE THE GREAT COMPROMISE (satisfied large and small states)  3 branches ( Legislative, Executive, and Judicial )  2 houses  Senate  Each state gets 2 Senators  House of Representatives  Seats awarded by state population Combined the VA and NJ Plans

Northerners did NOT want slaves to count towards a state’s population Southerners wanted slaves to count towards a state’s population 3/5 of the slaves in a state would be counted towards the state population So if a state had 5,000 slaves, 3,000 would count 3/5 Compromise

The Constitutional Convention Signed on September 17, 1787 Philadelphia, PA All delegates (but 3) signed it  9 states needed to endorse it to go into effect
