New Jersey Plan: Equal number of representatives per state.
Of course, the states couldn't agree on one to choose as it benefitted some states and not others for each plan. So they decided they would have both, this would be called the 'Great Compromise'.]]> 2018-11-06 15:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/301041045 How slaves were to be counted sawyer_wheatley_200 https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/302785676 Northern states didn't want the slaves to be counted into the population/amount of representatives a states gets, and if that was the case, they also wanted slaves to count for the taxes of the Southern states. The Southern states wanted the slaves to be count in terms of the population, but not the taxes. They decided, because again, they couldn't agree, that they would make a split between the two. Slaves were to be counted at 3/5 a person, for taxes, and population.]]> 2018-11-09 21:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/302785676 The Commerce Compromise sawyer_wheatley_200 https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/302787493 The Commerce Compromise dealt with trade. The North and South disagreed on a certain policy. Since the North was industrialized and the South was still agricultural, the Southern states were scared that the tariffs on exports would end up hurting their trade. So, they decided to make the Commerce Compromise. It stated that tariffs were only allowed on imports from foreign countries, but not exports from the United States. It also stated that the interstate commerce would be controlled/regulated by the federal government. Finally, it stated that all commerce legislation would have to have 2/3 of Senate in agreement.]]> 2018-11-09 22:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/302787493 Federalists vs Anti-Federalists sawyer_wheatley_200 https://padlet.com/sawyer_wheatley_200/maye07woyoku/wish/302788701 The Federalists wanted a strong national government, and ratification for the Articles of Confederation, and the Anti-Federalists wanted a strong state government, and they were against ratification.
