8 0

1. In his text "Revonverting Mexican Americans," the author Daniel Schorr talks about the ways in which Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were welcomed back to the country after WWII. He tells us that they are often the last people to be hired and the first ones to go. He also tells us that prejudice against Mexican-Americans is sustained by the views that Americans have of history, for example, in the battle of the Alamo. He thinks that such stories view Mexicans as inherently lazy and dishonest, which perpetuates discrimination.

2. He believes that resentment among Mexican Americans will not be contained because people will eventually begin to demand rights and equality. He argues that they "can be trodden on just so long." This is based on the fact that Mexican Americans are an essential part of the country, and they deserve the same rights as everyone else.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Were either of these plans chosen by the delegation or was there a compromise to appease both sides?

No, these plans were not chosen at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787. James Madison, a delegate from Virginia at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, recognized that one of the greatest flaws in the Articles of Confederation was its lack of a strong centralized government. In response to this flaw, Madison developed the “Virginia Plan.” However, no all the delegates agreed. That is when the Virginia Plan was countered by the New Jersey delegation, proposing the “New Jersey Plan.” The delegates had many discussions and debates to agree on the new form of government for the United States. Federalists supported a strong central government. Antifederalists supported a simpler government that promoted civil rights and liberties. That is when James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution.
