the great compromise between the virginia and new jersey plans proposed a bicameral legislature, where representation in the house of representatives was equal and representation in the senate was equal.

Explanation:

1. For the Virginia Plan: It proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population (so "equal" is wrong, should be "based on population"). States with large populations supported it (this part is correct).
2. For the New Jersey Plan: It proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation. States with small populations supported it (so "large" is wrong, should be "small").
3. For the Great Compromise: It proposed a bicameral legislature where representation in the House of Representatives was based on population (so "equal" is wrong, should be "based on population") and representation in the Senate was equal (this part is correct).

Answer:

• Virginia Plan: Change "equal" to "based on population".
• New Jersey Plan: Change "large" to "small".
• Great Compromise: Change "equal" (in House of Representatives) to "based on population".
