James Madison was
born 1751 (Virginia). He would later attend Princeton. After that he was called
to battle and served as colonel in the revolutionary war. After the war, it was
time to build a country, so they enlisted the help of Madison and he wrote the
bill of rights and is considered the father of bill of rights because author
wasn’t cool enough. Some other important things to note is that, he was sectary
of state during Louisiana purchase. He later became president of united states.
He also was the president during the War of 1812 or what I like to call it the
“revolutionary war 2”. Now to get back on topic He also had a huge say
constitutional convention what this
paper is about.
The Virginia plan
is basically summed up by the current House of Representatives system where
population is determining factor when comes to how many representatives you
get. This was proposed by the bigger states for obvious reasons(mostly so they
Would have more power). Now smaller states proposed the New Jersey plan what
had equal representation for each state regardless of population. The Virginia
plan had three branches of Government and they were same as ares, Judicial ,
legislative and executive. Now the two Legislator house are interesting because
one is elected by the people and other one is selected by the other house. They
also have a President in this system but he can only be elected one term. This
plan also haves the revision council what bills and laws go through. I actually
really like this idea because we could higher super intelligent foreigners who
could look at issues objectively. I think the system has it flaws such as two
legislators with one of them being appointed by other legislator. I feel that
wouldn’t really wouldn’t accomplish much. I think Virginia plan is decent in
its own right but like any system it has its problems.
