The Constitutional Convention was a historic event that took place in Philadelphia in 1787. Delegates from all thirteen states gathered to revise the Articles of Confederation, which had been the governing document of the United States since the end of the Revolutionary War. However, the delegates soon realized that the Articles could not be fixed and instead decided to create a new Constitution. The Convention was attended by some of the most influential figures in American history, including George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin. After months of heated debate, the delegates were able to reach a compromise and create a Constitution that would become the foundation of the United States government.

The great compromise and the ⅗ compromise were important. The great compromise was important because it combined the New Jersey plan and the Virginia plan. The New Jersey plan gives equal power for all the states. The Virginia plan would give power to states based on their population.
The great compromise and the ⅗ compromise were important because it was a debate on the New Jersey plan and the Virginia plan. According to the Virginia Plan, each state would have a different number of representatives based on the state's population. The smaller states favored the New Jersey Plan. According to the New Jersey Plan, the number of representatives would be the same for each state. The people who attended the Great Compromise were making a stable government who were powerful enough, but not too powerful, to enforce laws. They established a strong legislative branch. It is made up of Congress. The Congress is made up of the senate and House of Representatives. After their debate they had a new argument. The 3/5 compromise. The ⅗ compromise was that each enslaved person counted as ⅗ of a person. The Southerners wanted the enslaved people to be counted as part of the population. The Northern states didn’t want them to count because they didn’t have slaves. They came to an agreement called the ⅗ compromise.
In conclusion the great compromise and the ⅗ compromise were both very important debates. The great compromise proposed a double legislature with equal representation in the lower house and equal representation of the states. The ⅗ compromise determined that an enslaved person counted as ⅗ of a person.

The Constitutional Convention was created to change The Articles of Confederation and to make new goals for the government. The government was weak and couldn't raise taxes or raise a military. The goals for the Constitutional Convention were to make a stronger central government, raise armies, and raise taxes, this information was gathered from the third article. The Constitutional Convention was made by 55 delegates from each state. The only state that did not send a delegate was Rhode Island. This meeting happened 4 years after the Untied States won Independence from England. General George Washington was elected as Convention President. In this meeting, they discussed the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, The Great Compromise, and the 3/5 Compromise. Starting off with the Virginia Plan, this plan wanted 2 houses for the legislative branch. This plan would accord greater representation based on the more numerous populations. This information was found in article 2. But, some of the states didn't have as big as a population as Virginia had and disagreed with this plan. That's when they made an opposing proposal known as the New Jersey Plan. The New Jersey Plan wanted only one house in the legislative branch and each state would only have a single vote. Since the states weren't agreeing on the plans, The Great Compromise was made. The Great Compromise was the compromise that combined both plans together. There would be 2 houses, an upper house and a lower house. The upper house was The Senate, each state was allowed 2 seats in the Senate. The lower house was the House of Representatives. This information was also found in article 2. Not only was there the Great Compromise, but there was also the 3/5 Compromise. This compromise was known to be one of the most notorious provisions of the Constitution which was stated in article 2. The 3/5 Compromise was a compromise that counted enslaved people as 3/5's of a person. In conclusion, the Constitutional Convention made our government stronger and accomplished many achievements.

The constitutional convention and ⅗’s compromise, yes, happened around the same time but they are two completely different things. The constitutional convention was held because there were trading issues, they also wanted to make big changes that were needed to make the constitution work for the needs of America. The “New Jersey Plan'' is the plan that has equal power for all states under the new constitution. So during The “New Jersey Plan'' everyone that was involved had equal power for the new constitutional plan. The “Virginia Plan'' is when people who were involved would have power based on population under the new constitution. Lastly, during The ⅗’s compromise it was the compromise that decides whether an enslaved person world counts as ⅗’s of a person or not. Which means back then rich white men counted as 5/5 of a person or 1 person. Which should have been counted the same for slaves. But slaves only counted as ⅗’s of a person.

The constitutional convention was in place during 1787 in Philadelphia, when 55 delegates came together from different colonies to make a new constitution trying to create a better one. A few of the delegates consisted of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and James Madison. The goal of the constitutional convention was to create a better government and was going to replace the Articles of Confederation. Some of the reasons they wanted to change the Articles of confederation was because of the New Jersey plan, the Virginia plan and the 3/5 compromise. The new jersey plan wanted the representatives of each state in the legislative branch to be equal, it does not matter how big or small the population was. The new house of representatives would be based on population. The Virginia plan had 2 governments governing the people. This plan divided the governments into legislative, executive and judicial branches. Virginia wanted the amount of people in the legislative branch to be based on the population of people in the state because Virginia had a large population. As said in the second article, "Three Fifths Compromise apportioned representation to the southern slave holding states in a scheme that counted five enslaved men and women as three."

Another goal of the Constitutional Convention was to gain more rights. In article 1 it states that the Articles of Confederation lacked the protection of basic rights such as freedom of speech.

The Virginia Plan was a plan in which it had multiple houses of the legislative branch. Also it would be based off of population.

The constitutional convention was a gathering between of delegates from twelve of the thirteen original colonies that took place in 1787. The purpose of the convention was to revise the Articles of confederation, which had been the governing document of the united states since the country's independence from great Britain. however, the delegates soon realized that the articles were too weak to provide an effective government and decided to draft a new constitution. The result was the united states constitution which created a stronger federal government with three branches- judicial, legislative, executive- and a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming to power full. The constitution has been the foundation of American government ever since.

The Constitution Convention was a very important event for the united states of america. The goals of the constitutional convention where to fix the articles of conversation to make the government be able to for easier than before. When the 55 SMOKING HOT SWEATY MEN where changing the articles of confederation they decided to scrap it and start over with a new thing that we now call the constitution. When the 55 men where talking they where arguing about 4 different things. One of which was the 3/5 plan, the 3/5 plan was then some of the southern states wanted to count there slaves as people because the bigger the population the more power you would have in the house of representatives. But the northern states argued because they didn't have as many slaves and they said argued that they don`t treat them like humans so they shouldn't count them as there human population. But in the end they settled down and derided to make black 5 black people count as 3. But one of the other plans that was proposed was the Virginia plan. which consisted of a bicameral legislature in which representation would be based on population. The larger states supported this plan, because it would accord them greater representation based on their more bigger populations than some other states that had a smaller population. But then some other states proposed The New Jersey plan. It states in article two to states¨the legislature would be unicameral and each state would have a single vote.¨. But one of the most important one in my opinion is the great compromise. Which is basically the compromise of the New Jersey plan and the Virginia plan. The compromise is that one part of the legislative branch has every state have 2 people come in to represent them in the senate, kinda like how the New Jersey plan wanted it. But in the House Of Representatives it is depending on population. So the more populated your state is the more representatives your state has. So in conclusion the Constitution Convention was a very important event for the united states of america.

The Constitutional Convention was a plan to change the Articles of Confederation. But that did not go to plan as said in article one where it states, "The assembly immediately discarded the idea of amending the Articles of Confederation and set about drawing up a new scheme of government." Showing that their goal changed from wanting to keep but change the articles of confederation to ditching that and going straight to making a new constitution. The Constitutional Convention was a meeting between 55 delegates (White rich men) who came together with a few goals in mind, to be able to tax the people of America while also being able to trade easier with other countries. On the other hand 2 debates that were a big deal in history that took place in the Constitutional Convention were the 3/5 Compromise and the Great Compromise. The text number 2 talks about the 3/5 Compromise where they state, "The notorious Three-Fifths Compromise apportioned representation to the southern slave holding states in a scheme that counted five enslaved men and women as three." The whole point of this plan was to count enslaved people towards the population but not towards rights. The Great Compromise is the compromise between The Virginia Plan and The New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan, meant each state would be represented by a number of legislators determined by the population of people who lived in each state. This would be a benefit to Virginia and other large states, but smaller states with lower populations were concerned that they wouldn't have enough representation. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state would be represented equally so the smaller states would have a equal voice to the larger states. So they combined the two plans to make the the Great Compromise, this compromise is where the 55 delegates decided to make a agreement where the new legislative branch would be made of The House of Representatives where there are a certain amount of reps. depending on the population of the state and The Congress which has 2 reps. per state so now there are 100 people in Congress. In conclusion this shows that The Continental Congress was a very important meeting for the USA.

After the articles of confederation failed, 55 delegates from every state, (although according to article two Rhode Island didn't attend) gathered to discuss a new government. There were two main plans, the first was called the New Jersey Plan. The New Jersey Plan had all 13 states unify under one central government. The government would be made up of a group comprised of two representatives for each state. The problem with this plan is that states with large populations would have just as much say as a state with a very small population. The next plan was called the Virginia Plan. This plan has a similar structure but the amount of representatives for a state was decided via it's population, this way large states would have an edge over smaller states. Even this plan wasn't perfect though, because the southern states had many slaves. This caused a debate on rather or not they counted as people. Eventually they decided to combine both plans into the great compromise. The government would be split into two parts, the House Of Representatives, and the Senate. The house would be made of two people from each state. The senate, like the Virginia plan, has the number of representatives decided by their states populace. But they had to decide if a slave counted as a person, so they made the 3/5s compromise. Basically this means a slave counts as 3/5s of a person.

The constitutional convention was a major event in our history. 12 states had met up with 55 delegates there, including some important roles such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison. They had met up to try and create a better, well built government. They had thought of 4 great plans. The Virginia plan, The New Jersey plan, The Great compromise, and the 3/5 Compromise. The Virginia plan was a plan created by James Madison, which meant bigger states had more power compared to smaller ones. The New Jersey plan was created by William Paterson. The idea of it was to equal all power to all states no matter size. The Great compromise had combined both the Virginia plan and New Jersey plan so all states would have equal power. The 3/5 compromise was a compromise created by James Wilson in which enslaved people would count as only 3/5 of population in each state because slaves were known as property and they didn't want to change that. So, the 4 plans they decided to have were the Virginia plan, the New Jersey plan, The Great Compromise, and the 3/5 Compromise during the meet.

The Great compromise and the ⅗ compromise were important. The Great compromise was important because it combined the New Jersey plan and the Virginia plan. The New Jersey plan was a plan that has equal power for all the states under the constitution. The population or the size of the state doesn’t matter. The Virginia plan was a plan that states would have power on their population size under the constitution. Small states like New Jersey didn't like this because they had less population and they had less power, but larger states like Virginia liked this because they had more power.
Article 1 says - " On May 25, 1787, delegates representing every state except Rhode Island convened at Philadelphia’s Pennsylvania State House for the Constitutional Convention." The people who attended the Great Compromise were trying to make a stable government who were powerful enough, but not too powerful, to enforce laws that will help their newly formed country. They established a strong legislative branch. It is made up of Congress - The senate and House of Representatives -. In article 2 it says - "Representation in the House would be based on population, and each state was allotted two seats in the Senate."
Once they both agreed on the Great Compromise they had another argument. The ⅗ compromise. The ⅗ compromise was each enslaved person counted as ⅗ of a person. The Southerners wanted the enslaved people to be counted as part of the population. The Northern states didn’t want them to count because they didn’t have slaves. They came to an agreement called the ⅗ compromise.
