STRATEGIES 5.2
READING THE SECTION
1. The Great Compromise: The Virginia
Plan called for a bicameral legislature.
Members of the lower house would be
elected and then choose members of the
upper house. The number of representatives in each house would be determined
by the population of each state. The New
Jersey Plan called for a unicameral legislature; each state, regardless of population, would have one vote. The Great
Compromise took elements of both of
the plans. It called for a bicameral legislature. Each state got an equal voice in the
upper house. In the lower house, representation would be according to population.
2. The Three-Fifths Compromise: This
compromise established that only threefifths of a state’s slave population would
count in determining how many representatives a state was entitled to.
