Letter To J. Monroe Persuasive Letter

Decent Essays
Dear J. Madison,
I have the utmost respect for you, but something has been puzzling me lately, I simply cannot comprehend why you oppose the Connecticut Compromise so deeply. I despise that we are in an argument about the ways our government should work. The Constitution would not have been as grand as it is if not for you, however your Virginia Plan does not represent smaller states, such as my home in Connecticut, New Jersey, and many other states are in agreement. My idea is a compromise, which involves each state, it includes bicameral legislature, with one part proportional representation and the other half involving each state having one representative. I know you are a busy man, but I hope that you will consider voting for the good of

    The Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was thought to have the goal of revising the Articles of Confederation, which had outlined the newly formed county’s government since the revolution. However, the first thing the representatives voted on as they entered Independence Hall was a compromise of secrecy, to let no word of their work or discussions leave the building. This decision was made in order to let the representatives preform at their best without the fear of public opinion, as well as to allow them time to totally reconstruct the government. This secrecy was condemned by some such as Patrick Henry of Virginia, who was quoted in “Are We to be a Nation” as saying “I smell a rat”. Because of this small compromise to secrecy, some of the…

    “By the 1780’s, James Madison had had his finger in every kind of political pie on the local, state, confederation, and finally national level.” (Roark 190). This makes it easy to understand why Madison was able to break apart different forms of government, comprehend them, and contemplate their advantages and disadvantages. He wrote the Federalist Number 10 in 1787, which addresses the problems…

    The Virginia plan stated a bicameral, two house, legislature where the number of representatives each state had would depend of the state’s population. This meant that the larger, more populated state, the more power it would have and so this Virginia plan also became known as the “large state plan.” Contrary, the New Jersey plan called for a unicameral, one house, legislature in which all the states have the same number of representatives regardless of population and so therefore this became known as the “small state plan” and this favored the small, less populated states. The great compromise in the convention came when the delegates eventually settled on a Congress with two houses, a Senate and a House of Representatives. This, Great Compromise, was the most significant in shaping the direction of the new nation as it bought on a whole new Congress.…

    John P. Roche gives his case that proposes that the form of the Constitution was simply a representative development involving a compromise of the interests of the state, economy, and governmental concentrations. In John P. Roche’s argument he states that the government was as democratic as possible: “My concern is with the further position that not only were they revolutionaries, but also they were democrats. Indeed, in my view, there is one fundamental truth about the Founding Fathers…: They were first and foremost superb democratic politicians…”[1]. He continues by stating that what they did was create a practical compromise that would support both the national interest and be something that the people would agree with. They started with the Virginia plan that proposed a bicameral legislative branch.…

    Adrenaline rushed through my tensed body as though I inched toward the edge of a cliff ready to jump off. Governor Hutchinson just rejected our plea to send the Dartmouth back to England, and everyone in Boston couldn’t take much more of England’s petty games of taxation and their seemingly unlimited power over the colonies. Once the governor’s answer came to everyone at the Old South Meetinghouse, I think we all felt something needed to be done to send a message to England that we had enough (Brooks). Being a part of the Sons of Liberty, I knew a plan was being devised no matter the outcome of the Dartmouth situation. We could hear the Dartmouth bellow while coming in to dock, and far off in the distance could be heard the Beaver and the Eleanor.…
