Connecticut Compromise

There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower. This quote by former President Eisenhower, shows that the value of compromises is evident, but sometimes, compromising is not always the best course of action. Morals and values should never be compromised, but in other situations, such as relationships or in history, compromises are inevitable. The situation when a compromise is needed to solve arguments or petty squabbles can abruptly occur and knowing…

America. Struggling through these events is what made America become the country it is today. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One of the major dissuasions at the Convention was how the states would be represented in the federal government. There were two main plans for the representatives. There was the Virginia plan, which applied to the larger states. It says that “Representation In the Congress would be based upon the population of the state.…

This was a conflict between small and large states on whether who had the most power and if it was fair. The Virginia Plan was proposed by larger states to build a strong government with power based on the population of the state (Greenberg, 38). The New Jersey Plan was proposed by smaller states to build a strong government with more power than the article based on the equal representation in national legislature (Greenberg, 38). The Connecticut Compromise was than created at the Constitutional…

There are 3 main plans to replace the articles of confederation the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, and the Connecticut Compromise. The first plan is the Virginia Plan this plan was introduced by Edmund Randolph and helped the bigger states.

This agreement grants states equal representation in the senate, and the House of Representatives. It was a result of a disagreement of how much representation each state should have within congress.

California in 1976 (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2013). The Tarasoff case involved a male college student who disclosed to his psychologist that he intended to kill Tatiana Tarasoff, a girl who continuously rejected him after a New Years kiss; Tarasoff was eventually killed by the male student at fault of the negligence of campus police as well as the failure to warn Tarasoff of the danger that she was in. These “duty to warn” and “duty to protect” laws as of 1999 in the state of…

These two lists, of Northern and Southern immigrants, were written in 1635, which gives us a good look at how dissimilar they were down to the year. Governor Berkeley of Virginia commented that many “(of the freemen available for defense) are single freemen (whose labor will hardly maintain them)” and are probably in debt, and so they are very unreliable (Document G). The Governor’s comments emphasize again the differences between the two regions of colonies. There was no sense of community in…

part of my life that I’m more aware of is the part that could definitely be better. It was all fine for sure, but it wasn’t the preschool days, that’s for sure. I was growing up at Rumsey and before I knew it I was an Upper Schooler (middle school), while all the time playing hockey and baseball. My responsibilities had slowly started to grow, and some things were changing, unlike before. The death of my grandfather caused tensions on my mother’s side, causing me to almost the bait and tackle…

Since the introduction of the Internet, we have been able to…
