about The Great Compromise in the articles and documents. This primary source was very
important to my research because it helped me gain information about how the members of The
Constitutional Convention felt at the time.

1787. Retrieved from http://www.nhccs.org/mnotes.html

James Madison’s notes on the constitutional convention are very important to the research I have

Liberty database.

This database explains the New Jersey and Virginia plans, these two plans were the cause of the
