Transcript Where should the governments power to rule come from?

Where should the governments power
to rule come from?
• New Jersey Plan
• Virginia Plan
(the states)
(the people)
• Representation based on
population is logical and fair
• Governments are for people
not states
• People deserves a direct
connection to their
government
• Representation by
population will insure more
voice in government
• Small states do not trust
large states to be fair
• Large states will “gang” up
on small states
• Best governments give
power to the states not the
people, we have to protect
states rights
• Small states can not loose
their voice and states rights
