History

Both plans involved how the new Constitution would define representation in Congress. The Virginia Plan proposed that the number of delegates be based upon population, thus favoring larger states with more people. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state have an equal number of delegates, thus favoring smaller states with fewer people. 

Under the Virginia Plan, a state like Virginia would have had a much greater say in Congress than smaller New Jersey since Virginia had a larger population. Under the New Jersey Plan, New Jerseyans would have had a disproportionate say relative to Virginians. Consider this, if each state had two delegates (under the NJ Plan) let's say New Jersey had 500,000 people and Virginia had 1,000,000 (not the real numbers). With two delegates, New Jersey would have had 1 say in Congress per 250,000 voters while Virginia would have had 1 say in Congress per 500,000 voters. 

These differences were resolved by creating a bicameral legislature. Today, the House of Representatives is a remnant of the Virginia Plan. States with larger populations have more seats in the House than those with smaller populations. For example, California has far more Representatives than Wyoming meaning California has a much greater say in the House. The Senate, on the other hand, is a remnant of the New Jersey Plan. Each state has two Senators regardless of population, which means each state has an equal say. Again, California has two Senators and Wyoming has two Senators despite the fact that California is much larger than Wyoming - this gives Wyoming a much greater say per voters than California. No law can pass through Congress without approval from both chambers of Congress, which means that smaller states are not overpowered, while larger states still have the ability to set the agenda.

Please help giving brainliest and 30 points!!
Nookie1986 [14]
Causes of US failure in Vietnam include b) The United States supported corrupt leaders in Vietnam and d) Only a few US soldiers fought with honor. 

One of the biggest issues of the Vietnamese war was that the United States went in because of anti-communism above all other reasons because of the Truman Doctrine. The South Vietnamese leaders were not well liked and were overall corrupt. The knowledge of this back home created a lot of public tension and actually caused soldiers to feel they weren't fighting for a good cause, or even commit war crimes as seen in the My Lai Massacre. 

Hope I could help!

What similarities do you see between the United States today and the United States of the past? What issues and problems do we c
kozerog [31]
<span>I see similarities in many things that the United States used to have issues with. Many people fought for African American and Women’s rights but now it is becoming an issue again. Yes, things are much better than they were in the past, but women still are being segregated in ways that men aren’t. Segregation in many ways is still an issue in the united states, and most likely always will be because of how the past was. Something that is a similarity that is very apparent is the fact that immigration is very much still a huge part of our nation and our economic growth. Another similarity is the structure of the government. This is something that has been in place for a very long time and with only small changes has worked for us for a long time.</span>
