Elbridge Gerry was the fifth vice president for the United States. He was the vice president for president James Madison.
Elbridge Gerry
When Elbridge Gerry was governor of Massachusetts he redrew the congressional district's so that each majority party would have equal representation. He was the 9th governor for the state and was in office from 1810 to 1812.
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!
It was an attempt to influence the outcome of an election, by taking advantage of voting patterns and interests in local districts. The results looked like a salamander on paper; someone called it a "Gerrymander", and the practice (or the attempt at the practice) is still called gerrymandering.
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.
