what powers would the general government have had under the albany plan of union
Albany Plan The Plan called for a general government to be administered by a President General, to be appointed and supported by the Crown, and a Grand Council to consist of delegates nominated by (the lower houses of) the colonial assemblies.[4] Under the plan, delegates from the colonies would be chosen roughly proportionate to colony size â€“ from a minimum of two to a maximum of seven for Virginia[5] - but each colony would have only one vote and decision making was by unanimous consensus.[6] Proposed powers included treaty making, and raising army and naval forces;[7] and, most significantly, included the right of taxation.[8]
