ANSWER The Virginia plan was in the interest of the then most populous state Virginia. As did Virginia; other comparatively densely populated states also applied for a representation model in the federal parliaments weighted on the population and the prosperity of the states. It was designed by Virginia’s representative to the Confederation of Congress James Madison, who later became the 4th President of the United States. The convention came at a time when the young US was plagued by economic problems that led to radical political movements

The plan was submitted before the congress by the head of the Virginia delegation, Governor Edmund Randolph, on May 29, 1787. It briefly formulated 15 resolutions that should define the powers and structure of the national government.

On June 15th, 1787, the Virginia Plan was counteracted by the New Jersey Plan, also called the Paterson Plan or the Small State Plan. This proposal was officially brought before the Convention by William Paterson of New Jersey. The Paterson Plan suggested to keep the Confederation’s articles without any changes and unlike the Randolph Plan, which called for the drafting of a new constitution.

One result of American imperialism is that many developing nations became "banana republics." A banana republic was a nation

lozanna [386]

A banana republic is a name for a Latin American nation (generally Central American or Carribean) that was under intense U.S. influence. The term originally comes from Nicaragua when the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita Bananas) had their banana plantation seized by the Nicaraguan government, outraged by this seizure of their massive plantation the United Fruit Company lobbied to United States government to act; the United States government agreed to act for the United Fruit Company and landed Marines in Nicaragua forcing the government to return the land to the United Fruit Company and pay reparation to both the United Fruit Company and United States government, In general, a banana republic was a nation under extreme U.S. influence that exported its natural resources, usually fruits, to the United States. As a result, most of these nations became dependent on the United States for economic support and several dictators came to power during this period (notably in the Dominican Republic) with U.S. backing. The period in which banana republics are said to have existed is generally the 1890's to the 1930's. Corporations, such as the United Fruit Company, also exercised heavy influence on the governments of Latin America and the U.S. government as well.

What is the best government

butalik [34]

I think most agree that democracy is the best kind of government. As Churchill famously said, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Essentially that democracy has many flaws and problems but all the others have more problems.
