are being, some of the southern population is African-american slaves. William Patterson, then made his counter offer or plan called the New Jersey plan.
The New Jersey plan is based states that the amount of representatives from each state should be equal with 2 representatives. It seems to make more sense, but there are more northern states than southern. If it is passed, congress would bend in a benefit for the north. That is not what we need. We need the Great Compromise! Let me explain.
This two house congress will have a house of representatives, which will have representatives based off of the population. Then a house of the Senate, that will have 2 representatives from each state. This will uphold our beautiful nation and satisfy both north and south. Our beloved nation will stand strong with this form of government.
