I had to do an essay question about the Great Compromise. It asked, among other things, what were the terms of the Great Compromise. I put about the two houses, Senate and House of Representatives, and pretty much everything else. However my teacher counted off 20 points for not talking about the three branches of government and seperation of powers. I argued that both the New Jersy Plan and the Virgina Plan agreed in these areas, thus not being part of the compromise. She told me that it was an offical documented compromise, in which the terms were clearly stated about the three branches and such. I didn't really doubt that until I started looking up on the internet about the Great Compromise and found nothing about either the Judical or Executive branches. I'm sure that I just missed it in my sources, but I would love to have clarification.
