Elbridge Gerry
Elbridge Gerry very much liked the Virginia Plan(being from Massachusetts)but, at the same time very much disagreed. He thought that every state should have equal power because that is only fair. So instead Elbridge Gerry favored the rational idea of the Connecticut Compromise (Bicameral). This compromise was that we would have a senate and a house and each state would get the same amount of people at the senate and based on population would be the result of people in the house. This led to other things like the 3/5th's Compromise.I hope this helped!
Oh honey, Elbridge Gerry didn't just wake up one day and decide to play Picasso with the congressional districts for fun. He did it to benefit his political party, the Democratic-Republicans, by manipulating the boundaries to give them an advantage in elections. It was such a shady move that it eventually led to the term "gerrymandering" being coined.
Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts redrew the congressional district in his state in 1812 in an attempt to benefit his political party, the Democratic-Republicans. By manipulating the boundaries of the district to include more Democratic-Republican voters, Gerry hoped to secure more seats for his party in Congress. This practice, known as gerrymandering, has since become a common tactic used by politicians to gain a political advantage in elections.
George Mason and Patrick Henry were 2 of the main ones. (Patrick Henry was the main leader). Thomas Jefferson and Elbridge Gerry were also antifederalists.
