Talk:Virginia Plan

Wrong Population
I believe the population numbers for Virginia and Delaware are wrong. VA's free, white population was 400,000. Delaware's was 40,000. Where did you get your numbers from? Dinopup 4 July 2005 13:31 (UTC)

i got the exact same numbers as you did from my middle school text book. Where did you get your numbers? ;>

Quick Question
How many states were ratified for this plan to... be a plan? IThink4u 02:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Umm...isn't this article on the Virginia Plan? Yet there is more text on the New Jersey Plan?

Why
Why cant you just put a part that says the similarities and differences???no you cant because of the relations of the virginia and New jersey plan. there is no need to, its a simple commen solution.

Vandalism of the Virginia Plan
A user from MoreNET, who already has 6 accusations of vandalism, edited this page on September 20th.
 * This page gets a lot of vandalism, even from IPs, which is strange because of the semi-protection. - ZLEA  Talk \ Contribs 14:32, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

stub
this article, i think, is a stub. that is not nice. the stub is amazing!

Expansion
I've attempted to expand the page, correct some edit discontinuities that had developed, and add a couple of sources to provide verification. As a result of the last, I think it's justified to remove the "references needed" tag, and I've done so. Since I worked on these edits on my own page, I'm transferring them in toto to replace the existing text. Your further additions/deletions/edits are, of course, welcome in the interest of improving the Product. RickDC 03:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hamilton myth
I was wondering if the theory purposed in this paragraph is something that people in the field actually wonder about?

''There is some question as to why Hamilton would spend so much time on his eleven point plan and what impact he had. One bit of American mythology has Hamilton deliberately introducing such an outrageous Plan in order to make the Virginia rather than the New Jersey plan look moderate. The story concludes by demonstrating that the very next day the amended Virginia Plan is adopted and subsequently Hamilton leaves the convention for New York. But there is no evidence that Hamilton's speech swayed anyone to change their vote from the New Jersey plan to the Virginia Plan.'' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.144.81.231 (talk) 19:16, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Now that my attention is drawn to it, I see that the entire recent essay was unsourced. Lacking sources, it's not useful here. TEDickey (talk) 23:32, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Plan's goal
The article says that the goal of the plan was the creation of bicameral legislature. This was however only part of it, wasn't it? The plan suggested creating a three-branch national government, one branch of which would be a bicameral legislature. If no one objects, I will make appropriate changes.
