Answer:
- Under the New Jersey Plan Congress has only one house and states would have equal votes and representation. The Virginia Plan gives larger states too much power in the vote.
- Southern delegates argued that their slaves counted in the population, yielding them more Representatives. Northern delegates countered that slaves were property and should not be counted at all. The result was the notorious “Three-Fifths Compromise,” where slaves were counted as three-fifths of a free person.
- Electoral College. In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they're chosen by “electors” through a process called the Electoral College.
