I propose the Virginia plan! It will be made into 3 branches. Executive, judicial, and legislative.
Voters must vote for lower house members who will vote for upper house representatives.
Vote now.
The Virginia Plan.
The # of pop. should determine # of votes.
THE VIRGINIA PLAN VSTHE NEW JERSEY PLAN
No! We, the south, want an equal number of votes per state.
The New Jersey plan is perfect! 1 vote per state. Give gov. power to tax and commerce
WE'RE GOING WITH THE VIRGINIA PLAN.
How about a 3/5 rule? That only 3/5 of the slave population is considered human population.
If we vote by population of state, what are we going to do about slave population?
We shouldn't consider slaves part of the human population in general
Trade is what we depend on for goods to have and sell.
No foreigners will want to pay taxes for trade.
With national government power to regulate trade, we're going to lose foreign business trade
Permit for slave importation until 1807 and permission to persue runaway slaves.
I am wealthy!
We are federalists which means we support a strong national government that ensures strong currency and property rights
my husband is a farmer!
I am a lawyer!
I am not wealthy but I am still a federalist because I think it'll bring stability and provide protection against violent protests
3. The new system resembles a monarchy because of concentration of power which violates principles of liberty. What we fought for in the first place.
1. The delegates of the constitutional government conspired under a veil of mystery.
2. A strong national government would destroy state's rights
