C. Fill in the blanks for the paragraphs below using words from the following banks.
Representation in Congress
Senate
Virginia Plan
2 house legislature
New Jersey Plan
population
House of Representatives
During the Constitutional Convention, large and small states were arguing about how to decide each state’s
amount of 22. Representation in Congress. Two plans were proposed, the 23. Virginia Plan and the
24. New Jersey Plan, but neither was accepted by the majority. Finally, a compromise was reached. The Great
Compromise created a 25. 2 house legislature with the 26. House of Representatives based on
27. population and the 28. Senate with two representatives per state.

Another issue during the Convention dealt with slaves and if they should be counted in a state’s population, which
would give 29. slave states more representation in the 30. House of Representatives. The 31. Southern states wanted
slaves to be 32. counted as people so they could gain more votes. The 33. Northern states disagreed and wanted them
considered 34. property. The resolution was known as the 35. 3/5 Compromise, which would count each slave as
36. 3/5 of a person when determining representation.

Slave state
In 1820, slavery became an issue again, but this time the question was whether to let it 37. expand into newly
gained U.S. territory or not. When 38. Missouri applied for statehood, it wanted to become a 39. slave state. Currently,
there were 11 free and 11 slave states, and Missouri would ruin the 40. balance in Congress giving the 41. South more
power. As a compromise, 42. Maine was admitted as a 43. free state with Missouri and slavery was banned in future
territories north of 44. 36’30’’. This compromise kept the balance in Congress between slave and free states.
