Day1- Obie’s in his lab thinking of a way to teleport to any place he thinks of. He’s been working on a type of gun named the Ray Gun MRK 2. It shoots out red and green rays that when hits an object it teleports that object to the certain destination. Then when Obie tried it out he slipped on his week old banana peel and fell into the rays and magically teleported him to a dark alley. He saw a guy and Obie said “Hey sir, who are you”.

The Great Compromise is a faction of the Constitutional Convention .It is also known as the Connecticut Compromise and was developed to ensure that all states would be represented equally in congress. Larger states favored the Virginia Plan which allowed states with a bigger population to have more representatives. Smaller states that preferred New Jersey Plan argued that each state should have the same amount of representatives sent to congress. These two plans were created because the states couldn’t agree on what type of legislatures to have and two prevent one house from having more power than the other .These plans failed which in resulted in the birth of The Great Compromise.
The Great Compromise refers to the issue of representation of states in the United States Legislature. When the Constitution was being drafted, the issue of representation between big and small states was a major issue. The Virginia Plan laid out by Edmund Randolph stated that states should be represented based on their population, and the amount of revenue they contributed to the federal government. This plan favored larger states because under this plan larger states would have a lot more representation than smaller states. “The Virginia Plan was thought to be heavily biased in favor of the large states.”

At the Constitutional Convention, our founding fathers met to reconstruct the Articles of Confederation, not knowing that they would create the United States Constitution, an entire new format of government. They wanted to create a government that was powerful yet restricted in certain ways, in order to create equal representation for all people. Three main compromises were made at the Constitutional Convention. These compromises were The Great Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, and the addition of the Bill of Rights.
Compromise was a huge part of America 's history and was extremely useful when it came to the “Articles of Confederation.” The government was starting to realize the articles weren 't strong enough any more and weren 't helping control the citizens. The government said they needed to be revised so Virginia and New Jersey both made an attempt at fixing them. The Virginia Plan was written May 29,1787 and the New Jersey Plan was written shortly after on June 15, 1787. Both plans were preposals for forms of government and both had many flaws.
It was May, 1787, when representatives from all over the country came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. George Washington was chosen to run these meetings, as they all believed he was trustworthy, he could have an unbiased opinion, and also that he could keep their secret. Their secret being the meetings and the discussions that took place here. They kept it unknown by the media and people so that they could say as they please without unwanted pressure.

As they talked how to repair the Articles of Confederation, issues would arise that would create continuous debates amongst each other. One of the issues that would arise would be the nature of the new government.
Another compromise made at the convention was the Slave Trade. Some northern states banned slave trade in 1787. After that, delegates from northern states believed that slave trade
After signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, The 13 former colonies were undergoing an identity crisis. It was one thing to declare independence, but it was another to realize what you were now that you declared it. The Constitution was eventually written, at an attempt to create a more perfect union between the states. One of the amazing things about the Constitutional Convention was that the people knew most governments would result in either chance or war. They knew that what they were doing was sitting in a room and rationally trying to create a good government.
On the day that the United States of America declared to became independent, everything has changed since then. That day was one of the most significant historical events in the US history line; people of US began to have a completely different life. Thus the difference of political situation after the declaration of independence, US began to refresh everything that was necessary, and the law took the priority. Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove both were a writer, editor, and social activist that was best known for the anti-war movement.
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, differences between the delegates and the interests they represented made compromise absolutely necessary. Debates over representation led to two very well-known compromises. These compromises are the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The Great Compromise led to the establishment of a two house legislature, which resolved disputes between small and large states. The Three-Fifths Compromise gave the South more representation by counting slaves as three-fifths of a person.
