That video was a little strange, but cool! The Virginia Plan was a plan for the government. It said that because larger states have a bigger population, they should get more reperesentation in Congress.(I agree with this one.) The New Jersey Plan was also a plan for the government. It said that all states should have equal representation.(Cause' it's a small state!)The way I see it, the Conneticut Compromise basicly said,"Why can't we have both?"(Which was really smart.) The House of Representitives is the house in the Legislative branch that represents the Varginia Plan, and the Senete represents the New Jersey Plan.

Until next post,

The Virginia Plan was their plan to have perportional voting in the Legislative branch. The New Jursey Plan was their plan to have equal voting in the Legislative branch. The Conneticut Compromise was a plan to have two branches of the Legislative branch, the Senate, and the House of Represenitives. The Senate would be equal, to favor New Jursey, and the the House of Represenitives would be perportional, which would favor Virginia.

The Virginia Plan was a plan unsuccessfully proposed at the Constitutional Convention, providing for a legislature of two houses with proportional representationin each house and executive and judicial braches to be chosen by the legislature.

The New Jersey Plan is a plan, unsuccessfully proposed at the Constitutional Convention, providing for a single legislative house with equal representation for each state.

The Connecticut Compromise is a compromise adopted at the Constitutional Convention, providing the states with equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation.

Proportional represents the Virginia Plan.

Equal represents the New Jersey Plan.
