Question

The authors of the Articles of Confederation wanted to provide a way for the states to work together. But they did not want to form a government to rule the states as Britain had. As a result, the central government under the Articles lacked any real power. Many state leaders thought the government was too weak. It could not do its job. They called a convention to revise the Articles. James Madison wrote the Virginia Plan, which Edmund Randolph presented. It called for representation in Congress based on population. Not everyone liked the plan because they thought it gave too much power to large states. William Paterson proposed a different idea, called the New Jersey Plan. It provided for equal representation for all states. These two plans became the center of debate. They led to other debates about issues such as slavery and taxation.

Use the passage to answer the question.

A. States disagreed on representation in Congress.
