- My name's Ana, so bear with me here, I'll be your "tour guide" for this.
- I will try my best to get through this story and I will explain it as best I can.
- Welcome to the Virginia and New Jersey Plan debate between the large and small state representatives of America.
- The Virginia Plan, suggested by James Madison, proposed that there would be a two house legislature with representation based on population.
- Afterwards, smaller states objected because the larger states would have too much political power. So they developed the New Jersey Plan that called for equal representation - no matter the size of the population.
- Then an agreement emerged known as the Great Compromise
- The Constitution provides for proportional representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the seats in the House are apportioned based on state population according to the constitutionally mandated Census.
- This ends our tour. Have a wonderful day. I hope we could see each other some other time.
