The Virginia Plan The Virginia Plan stood on the claim of expanding national power over the states and to have representation to states based on their amount of population.

Everyday life in Colonial Virginia‚ much like society today‚ was shaped by social divisions. It’s influence was seen in almost every aspect of a person’s life: their home‚ their religion‚ their education‚ and their leisure time.

Women’s rights were a big thing back in the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century. Virginia Woolf and Alice Walker are two women with two views that somewhat agree about this situation‚ with the goal of finding a way to use the limited resources that they have for the good of others.

Edward Albee’s plays are usually unapologetic examination of modern society
