Bell Ringer: Pop Quiz 6.4:
1. A plan drafted by James Madison that was presented at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention. It designed a powerful three-branch government, with representation in both houses of the congress to be tied to population; this plan eclipsed the voice of small states in national government.
2. Supporters of the Constitution of 1787, which created a strong central government.
3. Opponents of ratification of the Constitution. They feared that a powerful and distant central government would be out of touch with the needs of citizens.
4. Delegates agreed that each slave would count as 3/5th of a free person for purposes of representation and taxation. This agreement helped southern planters dominate the national government until 1860.
5. An essay by James Madison in The Federalist (1787-1788) that challenged the view that republican governments only worked in small polities. It argued that a large state would better protect republican liberty.

J39 / A: The Constitution was a combination of the New Jersey Plan and Madison's Virginia Plan. Rather than having a legislature based on population, the founding fathers created a bicameral legislature that reflected the needs of small and large states. Every state was allowed to send two members to the Senate, while in the House other largest states would have the most representatives.

note: The AP U.S. History Curriculum Framework requires that students know about the role of compromise in the founding of the U.S. as well as the later role of compromises over slavery and other issues.
