History

The New Jersey Plan was an idea on how to structure the federal government under the new US Constitution.

This plan, developed by William Patterson, wanted to create a unicameral legislature. This means that the federal government would be made up of one house in Congress. In Congress, each state would have the same amount of representatives, regardless of their population. This was very similar to the structure the United States experienced under the Articles of Confederation. States with large populations felt this was unfair and developed the Virginia Plan instead. Ultimately, elements from both would be taken to develop the Connecticut (aka Great) Compromise, which gave us the structure of Congress we have today.

The Major Purpose that was behind the New Jersey Plan was that it wanted to support and protect the interests of smaller states.

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

<u>The New Jersey plan was presented by William Paterson and it has eleven resolutions and this plan was presented as an alternative to the Virginia Plan. It was presented in the constitutional convention which took place in Pennsylvania in the year 1787</u>. According to this plan, Each state of the United States should have equal representation in the government and not according to the population of the state which was presented in the Virginia plan. According to the Virginia plan, there was a need for a strong central government as they wanted the government to enforce new laws on states and impose taxes.

<u>Virginia plan was opposed by smaller states as their view was that a proportional representation which was there in the Virginia plan will mean smaller states having less say in the matters of the government as compared to the larger states</u>. New Jersey plan proposed one house legislation that consisted of one legislative body of the Congress and every state will have an equal number of representatives in the government according to the New Jersey Plan.

Answer:

The South African Border War, also known as the Namibian War of Independence, and sometimes denoted in South Africa as the Angolan Bush War, was a largely asymmetric conflict that occurred in Namibia (then South West Africa), Zambia, and Angola from 26 August 1966 to 21 March 1990. It was fought between the South African Defence Force (SADF) and the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), an armed wing of the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO). The South African Border War resulted in some of the largest battles on the African continent since World War II and was closely intertwined with the Angolan Civil War.

Following several years of unsuccessful petitioning through the United Nations and the International Court of Justice for Namibian independence from South Africa, SWAPO formed the PLAN in 1962 with material assistance from the Soviet Union, China, and sympathetic African states such as Tanzania, Ghana, and Algeria.[31] Fighting broke out between PLAN and the South African authorities in August 1966. Between 1975 and 1988 the SADF staged massive conventional raids into Angola and Zambia to eliminate PLAN's forward operating bases.[32] It also deployed specialist counter-insurgency units such as  and 32 Battalion trained to carry out external reconnaissance and track guerrilla movements.[33]

South African tactics became increasingly aggressive as the conflict progressed.[32] The SADF's incursions produced Angolan casualties and occasionally resulted in severe collateral damage to economic installations regarded as vital to the Angolan economy.[34] Ostensibly to stop these raids, but also to disrupt the growing alliance between the SADF and the National Union for the Total Independence for Angola (UNITA), which the former was arming with captured PLAN equipment,[35] the Soviet Union backed the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) through a large contingent of military advisers and up to four billion dollars' worth of modern defence technology in the 1980s.[36] Beginning in 1984, regular Angolan units under Soviet command were confident enough to confront the SADF.[36] Their positions were also bolstered by thousands of Cuban troops.[36] The state of war between South Africa and Angola briefly ended with the short-lived Lusaka Accords, but resumed in August 1985 as both PLAN and UNITA took advantage of the ceasefire to intensify their own guerrilla activity, leading to a renewed phase of FAPLA combat operations culminating in the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale.[34] The South African Border War was virtually ended by the Tripartite Accord, mediated by the United States, which committed to a withdrawal of Cuban and South African military personnel from Angola and South West Africa, respectively.[37] PLAN launched its final guerrilla campaign in April 1989.[38] South West Africa received formal independence as the Republic of Namibia a year later, on 21 March 1990.[22]

Despite being largely fought in neighbouring states, the South African Border War had a phenomenal cultural and political impact on South African society.[39] The country's apartheid government devoted considerable effort towards presenting the war as part of a containment programme against regional Soviet expansionism[40] and used it to stoke public anti-communist sentiment.[41] It remains an integral theme in contemporary South African literature at large and Afrikaans-language works in particular, having given rise to a unique genre known as  (directly translated "border literature").
