In the Iran-Contra Affair, weapons were sold to Iran to help gain the release of U.S. hostages in the Middle East.

In the 1980s, officials of the government of the president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, organized an operation to sell arms to Iran to finance the "Nicaraguan Contra", the right-wing guerrillas that opposed the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the party in power.

The sale of arms, moreover, was aimed at persuading Iran to release American hostages kidnapped by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon.

US Congress had prohibited government organizations from financing the activities of the Nicaraguan "contra". But officials of the Reagan administration, including Colonel North, turned to the National Security Council, which was not explicitly mentioned in the law drafted by Congress, to raise funds for the guerrillas.

Members of the NSC also participated in the illegal shipment of arms to Iran. At that time there was a trade embargo imposed by the United States. The scandal was discovered in 1986 when Lebanese newspapers revealed the arms sales operation.

Virginia Plan

Each of the states would be represented in proportion to their “quotas of contribution, or to the number of free inhabitants.” States with a large population would thus have more representatives than smaller states. Large states supported this plan, while smaller states generally opposed it.
