In this assignment you will summarize the major plans that impacted the creation of the Constitution:
1.The Virginia Plan
2.The New Jersey Plan
3.Connecticut/Great Compromise
Step 1: Research Your Plan
Use the resources in the POLSC 1: Introduction to American Government Library Guide to find 2 external
sources about your plan. The Article Databases tab in this resource will be particularly helpful if you are off
campus. For this assignment, you may find the Gale Virtual Reference Library and the US History in
Context databases useful.
Step 2: Summarize Each Plan
In your own words, create a 150 word summary of each plan (450 words total). Here are some questions to
guide you. Please do not simply answer the questions, but rather use them to create a well-organized
summary of your information.
1.Who wrote the plan?
2.Who benefited from the plan?
3.What specific powers will the congress have?
4,What powers (if any) will the executive have?
5.1s there a separate judiciary and interpreter of laws?
6.What will the relationship look like between the national and state governments with this plan?
Again, these questions are meant to guide you, please create a summary using your own words. For more
