Constitutional Convention by: Gurjinder Dosanjh
In the latest United States Constitutional Convention meeting United States representatives gathered to discuss plans of progression and attainment of economical stability.
Delegates discussed their thoughts on ideas of central government and representation for the country’s best interest. In a moderated caucus, Massachusetts showed favor towards bicameralism, and the appointment of a central leader.
Officials stated that this would alleviate all problems. When asked how this leader would be appointed, officials stated that they would be voted in, and each vote should be accounted equally.
New Hampshire responded with an “adjustment” to the plan and stated that the bicameral legislation should be split into two major divisions, one for wealth management, and one for governing. Virginia also included their views on how important trade management is when choosing a form of representation.
Representative of New York stated: “For the best interest of this country, we need a bicameral legislation.”
New York officials also had faith that the newly founded government will not turn into a tyranny, for the people of the country have majority say. When asked how the officials should be selected the representative stated, “Officials should be voted in, and states should have majority say by population, and not by wealth.”
Some might have expected an answer along this lines coming from a state as large as New York. Officials also stressed importance of equality in voting. New York officials concluded by stating, “The people need to lead this nation in order for success.”
