Simora [160]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

There are various plans of government introduced at the Constitutional Convention, most importantly are the Virginia plan of May 1787, Pinckney plan of May 1787, New Jersey plan of June 1787, and Hamilton plan of June 1787.

The Virginia plan which has fifteen resolutions was later found to be the tenets of the United States Constitution one of its propositions is the formation of a bicameral legislature and strong national government.

Pinckney Plan has a nineteen resolution which was debated by the Committee of Detail. Pinckney would later reveal through a series of pamphlets that the eventual constitution reflected his plan.

New Jersey's plan though supported a strong central government, by giving more power to the Congress, but at the same time supports some of the fundamental structures of the Articles Confederation, whereby each state has one vote each.

The Hamilton plan constitutes about eighty-five articles that represent the Federalist papers. It also formed the tenets of the present United States Constitution. It favors a strong central government, strictly adhering to the constitution amongst others
