The United States Constitution addressed the problem under the Articles of Confederation that Congress had no power to ensure its laws were followed by the states by creating an executive branch of government,
The Articles of Confederation came before the United States Constitution, but it was very weak and gave little power to the national government. Under the Articles, the government could not tax the states, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, and other important things the government needed to do.
Eventually, people started to realize how the Articles of Confederation was hurting the country and they needed something more powerful, these people were called Federalists. On the other hand, the people who were in favor of the Articles of Confederation and wanted to keep a weak national government were called Anti-Federalists, they were scared of tyranny.
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was originally planned to just amend the Articles of Confederation, but they ended up getting scrapped altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead and addressed numerous problems that were evident in the Articles of Confederation.
One of these problems was that Congress had no power to ensure that laws were being followed by the states. Not only this, but since the national government had no power to tax, they had no money to raise an army or have anybody enforce anything if things got out of hand. The solution to this was creating the executive branch. When Congress passed a law, it was the state government's job to enforce it onto the citizens, but this rarely happened. <u>The executive branch was now the branch to enforce laws</u>, while the Congress makes them.

Explanation:
The ability to communicate across long distances improved dramatically during the Industrial Revolution. It began with the invention of the electrical telegraph by Samuel Morse in 1844. This system allowed for messages to be transmitted much quicker and cheaper than old methods.
Virginia Plan--3. Called for bicameral legislature; 5. Called for proportional representation; 6. Was supported by larger states
New Jersey Plan--1. Called for equal representation; 2. Was supported by smaller states; 4. Called for a unicameral legislature
The Virginia and New Jersey Plans were proposals of how to handle the issue of a federal legislature and how representation would be determined for the legislature. The Virginia Plan called for two houses: an upper and lower and representation based on population. This plan would best serve the states with larger populations because they would have more say in the government. However, this plan would shut out the voices of smaller states. The New Jersey Plan suggested a one house legislature with each state having equal representation. Essentially they wanted to keep the same system created under the Articles of Confederation. This would give all states a say but not all voices would be counted. Ultimately, the Connecticut Compromise or Great Compromise settled the issue by creating a bi-cameral or two house legislature with one house having equal representation and the other house having representation based on population.
