Explanation:

The Philadelphia Convention is seen as one of the most important events in US history. By the end of the convention, all 13 colonies had agreed to a Constitution that would set the basis for the young country.

However, the convention is a long process with delegates from all over the country presenting their own vision and plans for how the country should run.

Alexander Hamilton's plan was based on a strong federal government and a lower and upper house. Lower house would be elected directly by the people, while the upper house would be composed of officials chosen by the elected members.

The plan was quickly dubbed as the "British Plan'' since it closely resembled the governance system of Great Britain. It was soon rejected by the convention on these basis.
