#2 The Virginia Plan

The Virginia Plan for three separate but equal branches. The three branches were to be Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. This is making the Congress bicameral, meaning we would have The Senate, and The House of Representatives. The number of representation in each house, was determined on the states population. Not only was it determined by the population, it was also determined by how much money the state gave the government; making it equal. The powers of the Congress were determined on what it said in the Articles of Confederation. Equality works in this compromise because it called for three separate but "equal" branches. The common good works in this also, because making Congress bicameral, made it so that the government was not too powerful.
