It’s the rap yo
James:
What’s up Ben ‘heard you want to compromise
Well check this plan, out for size
I have an idea called the Virginia plan
This government doesn’t work, but this one can
It starts with proportional representation
This will be used to pick delegation
Each state gets delegates based on their size
A huge place shouldn’t be equal to the little guys
Ben:
Now just wait a second James, That’s unfair
You just want your state to be the biggest one out there
I believe every state should have equality
And it shouldn’t be based on quantity
My boy William Patterson has the right proposal
It’s the New Jersey plan drop yours down the disposal
James:
Hold up the phone Mr. Franklin I’m not done
So stay a minute man cuz the funs just begun
I’ll break it down for ya its split into three divisions
Legislative executive and judicial are the right provisions
The first branch will be split into two houses
Voted in by the people this way no body grouses
Next on the list are the other branches
They will be voted in be the legislative
Ben:
I do agree that there should be three
But your way is wrong now listen to me
The legislative branch will be unicameral
Each state with equal power
James:
That’s a load of bull!
Ben:
Now the executive branch will be appointed by them
And they will choose the judges who will condemn
James:
Making laws for the states
And taxing by their rates
They need those rights
Cuz if we don’t allow them that there will be more fights
Ben:
Taxing us is what they need to do
But the making of laws thing, that needs to screw
But another power that should be made
Is to let them have authority over our trade
James:
Okay with the trade, but what
