Vem var på olika sidor i debatten om hur representationen i kongressen skulle fördelas?
Connecticut Compromise
James Madison och Hamilton var två av ledarna för gruppen för proportionell representation. Madison hävdade att en sammansvärjning av stora stater mot små stater var orealistisk eftersom de stora staterna var så olika varandra. Hamilton hävdade att delstaterna var konstgjorda enheter som bestod av individer och anklagade småstaternas representanter för att vilja ha makt, inte frihet (se History of the United States Senate).
Connecticut Compromise
James Madison and Hamilton were two of the leaders of the proportional representation group. Madison argued that a conspiracy of large states against the small states was unrealistic as the large states were so different from each other. Hamilton argued that the states were artificial entities made up of individuals, and accused small state representatives of wanting power, not liberty (see History of the United States Senate).
