Annie Tunstall AP US History Mr. Layman 10/6/17 James Wilson James Wilson was born in Scotland in 1741. He lived there throughout his childhood and was educated at the universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. In 1765, he immigrated to America.

He served on the Committee of Detail which was the committee to draft the first constitution, which would included all the arguments discussed at the convention to that point.

He firmly believed and fought Luther Martin on the idea that the states should be represented by their population. This means that states would have representatives based on the amount of people living in that states, while Luther believed each state should have only one representative in government. There was a dispute in this belief however, and that was should slaves be counted in the population. For this, Wilson came up with the three-fifths compromise which said that only three-fifths of the slave population in each state would be counted for when deciding the numbers of representation for each state. He also believed that representation in the executive and legislative branch should be based on popular vote for both, not just one. Wilson was one of the greatest contributors to ideas regarding representation in the

- The 1787 Constitutional Conventionanalytical essayThese compromises are found in four main places within the Constitution. The first is the three-fifths compromise, which detailed how slaves would influence the population of each state for the purpose of determining representation and taxation. Located in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution the compromise states that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted for enumeration purposes (Dolbeare, 71).

He was convinced that the Articles of Confederation were inadequate, weak and in need of replacement. A strong centralized government, Madison believed, would provide greater stability and structure for the American economy. In 1786, Madison invited delegates from each of the 13 states to attend a Constitutional Convention. It was here that he hoped to create a plan for a stronger national government. (This section from Charters of Freedom) During this unprecedented convention, plans and ideas were presented and many issues were debated. Sessions of the convention were held in secret and visitors were not allowed. This secrecy caused anxiety and fear in those who opposed the idea of a powerful centralized government. Two of the plans presented in these secret sessions were the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. Virginia, a large state, thought that representation in the new legislature should be based upon population. New Jersey, a small state, felt it was only fair for each state to be equally represented regardless of population. (Charters of Freedom). “The compromise proposed by Sherman and Ellsworth provided for a dual system of representation. In the House of Representatives each state’s number of seats would be in proportion to population. In

However, because every law requires both the Senate and the House of Representatives to approve it, the small states were given excellent check against domination by the large states. Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 outlines many of these provisions. In many ways the logistics of this portion of the Constitution was the most difficult to agree upon. The final decision was named the “Great Compromise” because there were several different opinions as to how apportionment should be handled. In the end the founding fathers were not all happy about the negotiations, but a compromise was made for the greater good of the new nation. Although operated very differently, Great Britain also had a bicameral legislature which served as a loose model for the creators of the Constitution.

While I agree with his overall analysis I cannot help but think there might be pieces of the picture missing. It is a study that makes claims without ever truly observing Congress in person. Additionally, Wilson writes in a time that is very different than today. His critiques on the Senate and the presidency are time-bound. The presidency is very different today than it use to be (this is why we refer to presidents in the last century as modern presidents) and new committees have been formed that make up for some inadequacies observed by Wilson. Despite these short-falls Congressional Government is a true classic that provides insight into both early government in the United States, and modern government in many aspects as well. Anyone who has any interest whatsoever in American politics should read this book.

Wilson’s family is described as being tight knit and quite religious. His father, Joseph Ruggles Wilson, was a Presbyterian minister, while his mother, Jessie Janet Woodrow Wilson, was an English-born minister’s daughter. Wilson had 2 older sisters and one younger brother. Wilson was exposed to war as a young child, as his family was located in Augusta, Georgia during the Civil War and his father served as a chaplain for the Confederate Army. The events of the war and reconstruction would go on to shape some of Wilson’s views regarding conflict and reconciliation. As a child, Wilson showed interests in politics, forming a club known as The Lightfoots with his neighborhood friends. This group’s activities consisted mainly of harmless mischief, though it stood out for its use of strict parliamentary procedure during meetings. For Wilson, it served as an early exercise in law and politics. Wilson received no formal education until the age of 13, instead receiving a homeschooling of sorts from his father. Wilson’s father educated him through trips to factories to help him understand mechanics and lessons in concise, effective writing, though he proved to be ill prepared for formal schooling...
