After the union of the thirteen colonies, the Founding Fathers were concerned that the federal government did not have enough power, which would result in the colonies acting in their own interest. In order to analyse how the government could be improved, representatives of the colonies gathered in Philadelphia in 1787, in what is now called the Constitutional Convention. The result of this convention was the U. S. Constitution, but there were a lot of debates and disagreements before this came to fruition. These are two examples:

<em><u>Example 1:</u></em><u> The Virginia Plan vs. The New Jersey Plan </u>

The main difference between the Virginia Plan, redacted by James Madison, and the New Jersey Plan, proposed by William Patterson was the allocation of power to states. Madison proposed a system where larger, more populous states would get more legislative representation, while Patterson’s plan argued for equal representation no matter the size of the population. It also argued for a bicameral legislature, as opposed to the Virginia Plan, which argued for bicameralism.

The outcome is known as the Connecticut Compromise, which created two chambers: the House of Representatives was to have the Virginia Plan system (based on population) while the Senate resembled the structure proposed by the New Jersey Plan (one representative per state).

<em><u>Example 2: </u></em><u>Three-Fifths Compromise</u>

Another source of dispute was whether slaves would be counted as people, or as property. If they were counted as people, this would affect the population size of a state, and therefore its number of representants in the House of Representatives. Also, they would be subject to a different kind of taxation.  

The compromise is known as the “three-fifths compromise,” because it considered three out of every five slaves as a person for the purpose of measuring population.

How were the histories of early Japan and early Korea similar?
marshall27 [118]
Korea and Japan have close relationship ever since their ancient histories to this day.  Because of this reason, their economic growth and development have similarities but on the other hand, due to their different characteristics, they also have differences.<span> Throughout the research paper, several similarities and diversities between Korea and Japan could be found.  Two countries had impacts on each other, for example, Korea’s influence in the ancient history and Japanese occupation in Korea.  Both of the two countries have long blossomed histories, distinct art and literature works, that are going through remarkable economic development.  These characteristics like religious beliefs and government policies helped them to grow faster compared to other countries.  They both are major industrial countries with high technology now and they are still growing.  When looking at their efforts to put emphasis on educating the future generations it seems like they will continue to grow in the future as well.
I hope this helps.</span>

. Explain the achievements of the Portuguese and Spanish during the Age of Exploration and their influence on non-European civil
enyata [817]

Answer:

The Spanish and the Portuguese were the first European nations to touch and colonize the Americas. The interaction between the natives of the Americas and the Spanish specifically were absolutely vile. The Spaniards decimated entire populations of Native Americans in the Carribean. The Portuguese on the other hand initially took interest in Newfoundland but quickly abandoned that area for the lush coast of modern day Brazi. They constructed many settlements along the coast of Brazil. the Portuguese also had numerous skirmishes with the native inhabitants of South America and also brought over African slaves; they intermarried with the natives, giving birth to a unique mulatto ethnic group.
