<em>The Stamp Act</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.

The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.

On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.

The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.

Sort each proposal by placing it beneath the states that supported it.
dangina [55]

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.
