VIRGINIA PLANStronger National Government with powers divided between 3 branches
• Executive: enforce laws• Judicial: interpret laws• Legislative (Congress): make laws—Will be most Powerful of the three
branches
The Legislative Branch will gain the following powers:• To regulate trade between two or more states• To get rid of state laws that it considered to be in violation of the national
constitution • To call forth the armed forces of the nation against a state, if necessary, to
enforce the laws passed by Congress• To make and enforce national laws• To tax the people• To elect people to serve in the executive and judicial branches of
government
REPRESENTATION IN LEGISLATURE
The members of House of Representatives will be elected
directly by the people of each state.
A Senate will be elected by the members of the House of
Representative from lists of persons nominated by the legislature
of each state.
The number of representative from each state in both the House
and the Senate will be based on the size of its population
NEW JERSEY PLAN
Executive branch -several persons appointed by Congress.
They would have the power to enforce national laws, appoint
other executive officials, and direct all military operations.
Judicial branch -A supreme court would be appointed by the
executive branch. It would have the power to decide cases
involving treaties, trade among the states or with other nations,
and the collection of taxes.
NEW JERSEY PLAN: LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
Legislative branch Congress would have only one house,
as in the Confederation, and it would be given the following
increased powers:• Taxes. The national government would be given the power to
raise import duties and a stamp tax to raise money for its operations
• The power to collect money from the states if they refused to pay.
• Trade. Congress would be given the power to regulate trade among the states and with other nations.
• Control over the states. Laws made by Congress would be considered the supreme law of the land, and no state could make a law violating national laws
CONNECTICUT OR GREAT COMPROMISE
What will the Legislative Branch look
like?• Two houses: Senate and House of
Representatives• Senate: 2 senators per state: chosen
by state legislatures• House of Representatives: Decided by
population and chosen by the people• For a law to be passed it has to be
approved by both houses

3/5 COMPROMISE
all “free persons” should be counted, and so, too,
should “three-fifths of all other persons.”
(Article I, Section 2, Clause 3…all other persons
referred to enslaved Africans)
SLAVE TRADE COMPROMISE
Congress was forbidden to make any
laws regulating (keeping or ending) the
slave trade for at least 20 years
After that 20 years is up…Congress can
end the slave trade if there is enough
votes!
