Why is the power of the president to pardon so controversial

History
2 answers:
swat323 years ago
8 0
It is controversial because the President can pardon anyone! Take Nixon and Goldwater for example. Nixon was convicted of spying on th opposite party. Nixon stepped down, but was still charged. When Goldwater became president, he pardoned Nixon of all of his charges which caused a huge uproar. That's fair, right?

The __________ plan called for equal representation of each state in congress, regardless of the state's population
tekilochka [14]
There were two plans suggested for the representation in Congress.

One was the Virginia Plan, and the other was the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan suggested that the states should get representation based on their population, and the New Jersey plan suggested the states would get equal representation.

Smaller states of course would favor the New Jersey plan, because they didn't want to lose power in Congress. 

They ended up compromising on this. They made the House of Representatives, which used the Virginia plan, and the Senate, which used the New Jersey plan. (The Senate has more power than the House of Reps)
