;ifty.fi!e delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional
Con!ention in Philadelphia from (ay to September +HIH. The delegates had been instructed by the
Continental Congress to re!ise the old Articles of Confederation& but most belie!ed that a stronger central
go!ernment was needed. There were differences& howe!er& about what structure the go!ernment should
tae and how much influence large states should ha!e.
Eirginia was by far the most populous state& with twice as many as people as Jew Aor& four times as
many as Jew Kersey& and ten times as many as Gelaware. The leader of the Eirginia delegation& Kames
(adison& had already drawn up a plan for go!ernment& which became nown as the Barge State Plan. Its
essence was that congressional representation would be based on population. It pro!ided for two or more
national executi!es. The smaller states feared that under this plan& a few large states would lord o!er the
rest. Jew Kersey countered with the Small State Plan. It pro!ided for e*ual representation for all states in
a national legislature and for a single national executi!e. Angry debate& heightened by a stifling heat
wa!e& led to deadloc.
A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures. The delegates hammered out an
agreement nown as the @reat Compromise L actually a bundle of shrewd compromises. They decided
that Congress would consist of two houses. The larger states were granted representation based on
population in the lower house& the )ouse of Representati!es. The smaller states were gi!en e*ual
representation in the upper house& the Senate& in which each state would ha!e two senators regardless of

;ifty.fi!e delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional
Con!ention in Philadelphia from (ay to September +HIH. The delegates had been instructed by the
Continental Congress to re!ise the old Articles of Confederation& but most belie!ed that a stronger central
go!ernment was needed. There were differences& howe!er& about what structure the go!ernment should
tae and how much influence large states should ha!e.
Eirginia was by far the most populous state& with twice as many as people as Jew Aor& four times as
many as Jew Kersey& and ten times as many as Gelaware. The leader of the Eirginia delegation& Kames
(adison& had already drawn up a plan for go!ernment& which became nown as the Barge State Plan. Its
essence was that congressional representation would be based on population. It pro!ided for two or more
national executi!es. The smaller states feared that under this plan& a few large states would lord o!er the
rest. Jew Kersey countered with the Small State Plan. It pro!ided for e*ual representation for all states in
a national legislature and for a single national executi!e. Angry debate& heightened by a stifling heat
wa!e& led to deadloc.
A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures. The delegates hammered out an
agreement nown as the @reat Compromise L actually a bundle of shrewd compromises. They decided
that Congress would consist of two houses. The larger states were granted representation based on
population in the lower house& the )ouse of Representati!es. The smaller states were gi!en e*ual
representation in the upper house& the Senate& in which each state would ha!e two senators regardless of
population. It was also agreed that there would be a single executi!e& the president. This critical
compromise 'roke the lo!+a& and from then on& success seemed within reach.

Eietnam& a colony of ;rance& wanted to become independent& but the US belie!ed that Communists
were behind the 777>$H? 777 mo!ement& and so opposed it. The US became 777>$I? 777 in Eietnam only
gradually. At first& under President <isenhower& it pro!ided the ;rench with supplies. In +O$- the @ene!a

after an attac on US ships& Congress passed the @ulf of Tonin Resolution which ga!e President Kohnson
greater powers to fight a war& and in the spring of +ON$ (arines were sent to South Eietnam.
It was easy to eep the Communist forces& called the Jational Biberation ;ront or the Eiet Cong&
***>NM? *** South Eietnam& but much 777>N+? 777 to defeat them. The US used bombs against the
