 * __ Thomas Jefferson [] __**

He was the governor of Virginia. On May 29th he described Madison's plan for the new government. This plan known as the Virgina Plan, called for a federal system in which the national government had three parts, or branches. Many state governments were already set up this way. One branch, the Congress, would make laws for the nation. Another branch would carry out the laws. Yet another branch, the courts, would settle legal arguements.
 * __ Edmund Randolph __**

He came up with a solution. He thought of dividing Congress into two parts, or houses. Each state would have an equal number of represenatives in one house, the Senate. The number of representatives each state sent to the other house, the House of Represenatives, would depend on its population. Sherman's suggestion is called the Great Compromise.In a compromise both sides give up some thing to settlea disagreement.The delegates accepted this compromise and moved on to other topics.
