In Virginia, we believe there should be three branches of government: the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. We also believe we should have more representatives than other states because our population is larger
The New Jersey Plan
I do not agree. In New Jersey, we believe there should be one main branch of government. We should also have the same number of representatives as any other state, no matter the size.

The Great Compromise
Both sides make good points, so what if we make a compromise? The Legislative Branch should have two parts, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The number of representatives per state in the House of Representatives will vary by state population, and the number of representatives per state in the Senate will be the same for every state.
