00:05

brought to you by the new jersey plan It involves

00:08

more than just going to the shore The new jersey

00:12

planted which of the following and here the pencil answers

00:15

around the numerals He's buddy all right Okay here we

00:21

go Well the new jersey plan was the small states

00:24

answer to the virginia plan which created a strong national

00:28

government and assign representation based strictly on population let's See

00:32

which of these answer choices described what the miniature members

00:35

of the union wanted to try on for size Did

00:39

the new jersey plan one i propose a bicameral legislature

00:44

Well actually the new jersey plan wanted to retain the

00:46

unicameral structure from the articles of confederation where each state

00:51

got one vote but zero camels Weird But either way

00:54

we can rule out option one was the new jersey

00:57

plan different because it to proposed a plural executive will

01:01

imagine a group of friends arguing over where to go

01:03

to dinner Except now they have to decide how to

01:06

provide national defense and how to build roads and how

01:09

to sign treaties well to protect against a strong government

01:12

dominated by big states New jersey plan imposed a plural

01:16

executive committee of folks rabbit and one single president Looks

01:20

like they were in favor of the whole two plus

01:22

heads are better than one thing So moving on Did

01:26

the new jersey plan three allow the national government toe

01:30

overturn state laws well the new jersey plan protected the

01:34

small states from a strong central government so definitely didn't

01:38

want national lawmakers interfering in local bees wax So three

01:42

can go ahead and buzz off And lastly with the

01:45

new jersey plan for have given state governors and congress

01:49

the power to remove an executive in order to prevent

01:52

a tyrannical leader That new jersey plan gave congress at

01:55

the prompting of state governors the power to remove members

01:58

of the executive commitee kind of like an old school

02:02

survivor from new jersey Plan proposed a plural executive and

02:07

gave congress the power to remove those executives Well that

02:10

means the correct answer is even though the new jersey

02:14

plan wasn't actually adopted neither was the jersey shore plan 00:02:18.245 --> [endTime] Seriously they can't just pardon me
