The Virginia Plan was nothing but a proposal to form a bicameral legislature in the newly founded United States and it would have granted more power to states with large population.

Further Explanation:

It was drafted by James Madison in 1787 as per which recommendations were made regarding representation. The recommendation stated that states should be represented on the basis of their population numbers. It further laid down the idea of creating three branches of government. Though the entire plan wasn't implemented, certain parts of it were incorporated into the Great Compromise of 1787 which eventually laid down the foundation of the U. S. Constitution.

The crux of the suggestion revolved around the idea that each state be represented by a number of legislators determined by the population of free inhabitants. This proposal was bound to benefit Virginia and other large states. However, this proved to be a precarious situation for smaller states with lower populations that were concerned that they wouldn't have enough representation.

The plan suggested that the government should be divided into three distinct branches that being the executive, legislative and judicial. This would create a system of checks and balances. The main idea, perhaps, was that the federal legislative body would have the power to veto any state laws that it doesn't find on accordance with the articles of Union.

Explain the concept of manifest destiny and how that contributed to america's expansion?
Bumek [7]

boooooy I tell you what -

Manifest Destiny was a 19th-century belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable.

They got all hyped up on coca cola and jolly ranchers and began moving out west fast as all heck. Firstly many believed God himself approved of their decision to expend westward ( you know how fierce religious beliefs were). Then you have to remember the impact gold can have on a mans mind, they heard bout gold in California and well the reasons added up to make it seem nearly criminal not to go. Those are just some of my reasons of how the belief in manifest destiny compounded the influence upon much of the american people. ( pardon some non-factual events )

Why did women attempt to use the 14th amendment to secure the right to vote?
adell [148]

Explanation: Ok so, The Fourteenth Amendment affirmed the new rights of freed women and men in 1868. The law stated that everyone born in the United States, including former slaves, was an American citizen. No state could pass a law that took away their rights to “life, liberty, or property.”  Women fought to use the 14th Amendment because it stated that  everyone born in the United States, including former slaves, was an American citizen. No state could pass a law that took away their rights to “life, liberty, or property.”
