Under the New Jersey Plan, Congress had the additional powers of setting and collecting taxes. Federal laws were supreme over state laws. It called for Congress to select an executive council, which would serve one four-year term, and which would be subject to recall by state governors. The judiciary would be appointed by the executive and would serve for life. jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483788 2014-09-09 16:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483788 Many delegates from small states feared that under a system of proportional representation, which was favored by most of the delegates, large states would become too powerful. The New Jersey Plan attempted to give small states powers in Congress equal to those of large states. jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483862 2014-09-09 16:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483862 The Connecticut Compromise blended the Virginia and New Jersey Plans as a model for state representation in the two houses of Congress: equal representation in the Senate and proportionate in the House. jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483983 2014-09-09 16:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33483983 jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486084 2014-09-09 16:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486084 jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486255 2014-09-09 16:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486255 jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486373 2014-09-09 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486373 jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486461 2014-09-09 17:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486461 The New Jersey Plan (also widely known as the Small State Plan or the Paterson Plan) was a proposal for the structure of the United States Government presented by William Paterson at the Constitutional Convention on June 15, 1787.[1] The plan was created in response to the Virginia Plan, which called for two houses of Congress, both elected with apportionment according to population.[2] The less populous states were adamantly opposed to giving most of the control of the national government to the more populous states, and so proposed an alternative plan that would have kept the one-vote-per-state representation under one legislative body from the Articles of Confederation. The New Jersey Plan was opposed by James Madison and Edmund Randolph (the proponents of the Virginia Plan).Contents jaivonhoughton https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486619 2014-09-09 17:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jaivonhoughton/guowlka5nm1y/wish/33486619
