Connecticut Compromise


Connecticut Compromise      
The Connecticut compromise which is also known as the great compromise of 1787 or Sherman’s compromise and an agreement between the large and small states of America it was the constitutional convention of 1787 that partly defined the legislative structure and the representation that each state would have under the constitution of united states of America It retained the bicameral legislature as proposed by James Madison along with proportional representation in the lower house, but required the upper house to be weighted equally between the states. Connecticut compromise is where they agreed to have two legislative houses one based on population (the House of Representatives) and one house with two votes per state (the senate).
When it appeared that the Constitutional Convention would break up the delegates began to make compromises on important issues. The first thing that they resolved was the problem of State Representation.

The smaller states were in favor of the New Jersey plan which was proposed by William Patterson this plan in many ways resembles the current form of government in the United States.
While Edmund Randolph put forward a plan favored by the larger states it was called the Virginia plan.

The compromise was submitted to the convention so that the deadlock could be broken formed due to the New Jersey plan and Virginia plan.
The convention decided, after months of debate, that the legislature will be bicameral, meaning there will be two houses, and one house will have equal representation, while the other is based on population of the state. After further argument, the delegates agreed to what really a great compromise is also known as The Connecticut Compromise. It is known as The Connecticut Compromise because Roger Sherman who has a large part in this compromise is from Connecticut.

I HOPE THE PAKISTANI PEOPLE STATESMEN POLITICIANS AND ALL CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS

The new participants are Afghanistan, Iran & India. It is quite clear quite clear that the three Eurasian powers have already talked and agreed upon matters and now have decided to move forward bringing in other relevant players. Afghanistan is obvious Iran has been part of the Astana dialogues before and has an obvious engrossment in Afghanistan and will see eye to eye with Moscow. India however while having interest does not seem to be in agreement over the course of action viable to the others. The inclusion of India is due to the relationship Moscow and Delhi have held for such a long time. It is also being said that the Americans are also going to be present. The recent shift of India towards USA and its belief that no Taliban are worth negotiating is not going to give it much

LOUD AND CLEAR is the message to Pakistan we will not let you proceed with development in your country that easily. The development of CPEC is unacceptable. Shift from the policy of uncle Sam and bear the consequences. Islamabad had earlier facilitated negotiations between the afghan Taliban and the afghan government also invited was the Chinese and the Americans. Before long it was as clear as crystal that the Americans never wanted the talks to succeed. In fact it was blamed by many from Pakistan that it was the Americans and their stooge government in Afghanistan that had sabotaged the talks either by bombing the negotiating factions of Taliban and leaking the news of the death of Mullah Omar rite before the talks began. Even with all their sincerity for peace in Afghanistan the government in Islamabad could not succeed. why one may ask Islamabad was and is so desperate for peace in Afghanistan.

Pakistani Media will it Grow up?

It is apparently a well-established fact that Media especially electronic media in Pakistan is having a tremendous effect in Pakistan in all spheres of life. The reason behind such a result is the educational background of the general populace and the belief what they see on TV is right. Freedom of speech and news reporting are being used as a pretext to feed the masses tailored agendas. Pakistanis are being sold anti Pakistan rhetoric without even a wince from the authorities. Media Manipulation is a series of techniques partisans create an image or argument that favors their particular interests. Almost most of the time the methods employed are deceptive suggestions, psychologically manipulative narrative, rhetoric, propaganda and twisted or even outright completely false content. Most of the times its politically motivated but is it important if its politically motivated or not I don’t think so such practices are common around the world. So what’s the difference between Pakistan a
