The reading mentions two plans, the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. (1) As we saw in yesterday’s lesson, the legislature created by the Articles of Confederation gave equal power to large and small states. Briefly explain how this feature is similar to a feature of the New Jersey Plan. (2) Briefly explain in what sense the new Constitution is a compromise between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. (3) Why do you think that under the new Constitution each state gets two votes in the Senate, as opposed to one vote as in the New Jersey Plan? Why not more than two votes?
