"En la Brisa" Music by Dan-O at [ Ссылка ]

States used to only just get
States used to, states used to
States used to only just get one vote, in Congress with the Articles,
Only just get one vote, in Congress with the Articles,
With a new Constitution, comes new representation,
With a new Constitution... comes new representation,

Virginia Plan from Randolph says Congress,
Based on population, with now two house,
Bicameral legislative will now,
Favor large states, two more branches share power,
New Jersey just ain't having it, says one,
Unicameral Congress from now on,
And with equal state representation,
Someone better go call Roger Sherman,

Roger Sherman's proposed a Great Com-pro-mise,
Agree three branches is what we should do,
Take a page from Baron Montesquieu,
Congressional houses, we should have two,
For House of Representatives depends,
On population within the state,
But equal representing in the Senate,
Everyone gets two seats, my plan is great!
