The Virginia plan and New Jersey plan both had 3 branches of government the only difference was that the Virginia plan wanted the representatives to be based on state population and New Jersey wanted all states to only have 1 representatives, no matter the size. They agreed that each state would receive only two senators regardless of population, they would be represented in the House of Representatives by one member per 300,000 citizens.]]> 2018-11-06 16:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kylee_almond_288/pai1deuogpg5/wish/301060389 kylee_almond_288 https://padlet.com/kylee_almond_288/pai1deuogpg5/wish/301060795 On May 25, 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held to draft a new constitution.

The North didn't want the slaves to be counted as people because they were treated as property and should remain as property. The South wanted all slaves to be counted into state population so they could have more representatives. To please everybody, they came up with the 3/5 compromise, where 3 out of 5 slaves were counted into population, to please both sides.]]> 2018-11-07 03:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kylee_almond_288/pai1deuogpg5/wish/301320888 kylee_almond_288 https://padlet.com/kylee_almond_288/pai1deuogpg5/wish/301328781 Both sides, the North and South, argued on who would control the slave trade, the government or the states.
