The Garden State
New Jersey is more than "the shore"
New Jersey
New Jersey has featured on the trashy MTV show Jersey Shore. However, there is much more to New Jersey than big hair and big beaches. The most interesting fact I learned about New Jersey is that it is called the Garden State. I found that to be interesting because when you think of New Jersey, you usually think of industry, traffic jams, and pollution. The state is mostly verdant and rural.
The New Jersey Plan
- Rejected by the designers of the Constitution
- Features added from plan to the Great Compromise
- The plan was beneficial to small states who worried about equal representation in the new government.
