When deciding how the Congress of the United States was going to operate during the Constitutional Convention (1787), two main plans were proposed: the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. Delegates from different states had to vote on the system that they preferred.

Large states favored representation in Congress based on population, as proposed by the Virginia Plan. The reason for this was the fact that larger states had larger populations, which in turn would give them the right to more representatives, increasing their influence in Congress.

Answer:

Larger states believed since they have more numbers, they deserve more of a voice.

Explanation:

The Congress of the United States of America is known as the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the US and comprises of two distinct chambers such as the House of Representatives and the Senate. States are required to have representation at both chambers of the congress and the larger states of the country, at some point, felt that they should have more representation at the congress.

The smaller states asked for equal representation because they alleged that they would be ignored in most cases if the representation were to be based on population. Larger states believed since they have more numbers, they deserve more of a voice.

What universal human right is the Yemen crisis violating?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The universal human right that the Yemen crisis is violating is right to food and personal security.

Explanation:

Since 2015 when violence broke out in Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Middle East, the conditions of this place and its people have rapidly deteriorated. There has been famine, outbreaks of cholera and diphtheria, economic collapse and severe shortages of food, safe water, sanitation and healthcare. All this has taken a toll on the lives of the civilians. Right to personal safety and food security are still the two biggest challenges that the people of Yemen face. At present, the UN Refugee Agency is addressing the acute malnutrition issue by delivering food, nutritional programs and cash assistance to the affected families. It is also providing shelter kits and household items and helping them to refurbish the settlements. The UN Refugee Agency is also providing health facilities to prevent and control the spread of cholera and other diseases.
