gov’t was weak. In Summer of 1787, 12
states sent 55 representatives to Philadelphia, PA (then the capital)
Goal: Revise the Articles of Confederation (AoC)

Two Plans:Virginia Plan: Legislature based on a
state’s population (more people = more votes in Congress)
New Jersey Plan: Each state would have the same number of votes in Congress

Great Compromise:Compromise - Each
person gives something up
Created a bicameral (two house) legislature
Senate – each state gets 2 votes
House of Representatives [HoR] – states get votes based on population
Senate + HoR must agree to create new laws

Three Fifths Compromise:Northern states
argued slaves were not citizens, and should not be part of a state’s population
Southern states did not trust Northern states on slavery
Compromise – each slave counted as 3/5’s a person, this affected the HoR
