Question

1. ___ the _ called for a bicameral congress with equal representation in the upper house and representation by population in the lower house. a. virginia plan b. great compromise c. connecticut compromise d. commerce and slave trade compromise

Explanation:

The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) established a bicameral Congress: equal representation (2 senators per state) in the upper house (Senate) and representation by population in the lower house (House of Representatives). The Virginia Plan proposed representation by population for both houses. The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise dealt with trade and slavery, not congressional structure. So the correct option is the one that matches this description, which is B (Great Compromise) and C (Connecticut Compromise) as they are the same. But typically, the answer is B or C (both refer to the same compromise).

Answer:

B. Great Compromise, C. Connecticut Compromise
