translation to a suitable publisher If he or she is extremely lucky, this may result in a commission to translate

Fifty-five delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia from May to September 1787 The delegates had been instructed by the Continental Congress to revise the old Articles of Confederation, but most believed that a stronger central government was needed There were differences, however, about what structure the government should take and how much influence large states should have

Virginia was by far the most populous state, with twice as many as people as New York, four times as many as New Jersey, and ten times as many as Delaware The leader of the Virginia delegation, James Madison, had already drawn up a plan for government, which became known as the Large State Plan Its essence was that congressional representation would be based on population It provided for two or more

national executives The smaller states feared that under this plan, a few large states would lord over the rest

New Jersey countered with the Small State Plan It provided for equal representation for all states in a national legislature and for a single national executive Angry debate, heightened by a stifling heat wave, led to deadlock

A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures The delegates hammered out an agreement

known as the Great Compromise – actually a bundle of shrewd compromises They decided that Congress

would consist of two houses The larger states were granted representation based on population in the lower house, the House of Representatives The smaller states were given equal representation in the upper house, the Senate, in which each state would have two senators regardless of population It was also agreed that there

would be a single executive, the president This critical compromise broke the logjam, and from then on,

success seemed within reach
