- The Plans
- The Virginia Plan is to give Congress more power over the state in order to control them better!
- While the New Jersey Plan is to protect the state power from a powerful government, we only want to change the Article a little bit.
- Shay Rebellion was when the farmers, most of whom was veteran of the independence war, of western Massachusetts rebelled against the government due to the rising taxes forced on them, causing them to go deeper into debt and lose their lands. It was led by Daniel Shay and they were against the Articles of Confederation due to the fact that it cause the rise in taxes.
- The 3/5 Compromise
- The Constitution Convention, which is a meeting held by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton in Philadelphia after Shay Rebellion. It was to call all States to send in representatives and framers such as James and Alex to revise a New Constitution as the Article of Confederation wasn't going well. They made a new one instead.
- The Trade Compromise
- James Madison was the one that argue for the Virginia Plan for the large states while Alexander Hamilton argue for the New Jersey Plan for the small states. They then decided on the great compromise, which is what we have today.
- While talking about slavery, the slaves holding states want the slaves to count towards population for representative (not for tax) but the non-slave-holding states didn't want to count them at all because they couldn't vote. So they came up with the 3/5 compromise, which is 5 slaves counts as 3 free people when counting.
- Then, when talking about the trade tax, the slaveholding states don't want to tax export nor ban slaves, while nonslaveholding states wanted to tax on imports, which makes the trade compromise. That only tax import but not export and push the talk about slavery 20 years later.
- So we come to an agreement with the trade compromise that we don't put tax on export, however in order to earn money we will put taxs on import. The slavery topic will be talk about 20 years later after this, so we don't have to deal with this.
