The Virginia plan was the large-states plan. In order to make both large and small states agree, both the Virginia plan and New Jersey were adopted. The House Of Representatives is based on population (Virginia plan) and we have two houses (Virginia plan by James Madison).
The most, important points were:
Legislature:
1. A bi-cameral (meaning two houses) legislature.
2. Representation (or votes) based on population in both houses. The Senate would be chosen by the people, the House of Representatives would be chosen by the Senate.
It also called for a government with three branches.

The Enlightenment influenced America's belief that we, the people, have a right to form our own government. The American democracy's arrangement of a separation of powers (checks and balances) also came from Enlightenment thought. There were other influences too, but those are two big ideas that came from the Enlightenment and were implemented in the USA.
Some details.
- Ideas about the people's sovereignty came from thinkers like John Locke of England and Jean-Jacques Rousseau of France. Both of them were writing philosophy about how the people should be the ultimate authority in a state -- that a government gets its power from the people and needs to serve the interests of the people. That idea was referred to as the "social contract." Rousseau famously wrote a book with that title -- <em>The Social Contract -- </em>published in 1762. John Locke had published <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government</em> in 1690. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government</em>. In his <em>Second Treatise</em>, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property. Locke always favored the people remaining in charge, and asserted that the people have the power to change their government and remove government leaders if the government is not properly serving the needs and well-being of the people.
- The "Separation of Powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory. The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu. (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.") He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748. Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.

<u>Answer</u>:
Since the mid 1970s, the United States had a significant trade deficit.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The U.S had undergone a trade deficit since the 1970s. This has been contributed to the fact that they have been importing way more supplies and goods than the other countries were buying from the Americans. These imports have affected the native industries. Also, the demand for American products went down drastically and thus contributing to the deficit.
While Europe and Great Britain undertook industrialization in the 18th century, Americans started it in the 19th century-this delay resulted in the US depending upon imported goods and also in US struggling to meet Europe's levels of export.
