Best Answer

William Patterson of New Jersey proposed a legislative plan for the US Constitution. It was based on the one New Jersey had. This entailed the key element of having equal representation of the states in a one house legislature. This was identical to the plan in the Articles of Confederation. His idea was in response to an alternate idea called the Virginia Plan.

Which process of proposal and ratification has been used most often in the US Constitution. Which has never been used. Any ideas why?

The process of amendment proposal used most often concerning the US Constitution is where a bill first has to pass through both Houses and then the states to be approved (or denied). There is another method mentioned in the Constitution, but it has never been used before. In this method, a Constitutional Convention would be called in order to propose the amendment, and afterwards the amendment is sent on to the States for approval. The two processes of ratification are: -Proposal receives a 2/3 majority vote from Congress -Proposal receives a 3/4 majority vote from the State I'm not sure which is most used or why.
