I will assume you mean the Homestead Act of 1862, which was the first and most iconic one. In that case, the requirements were that the homesteader, the one filing the claim, be either the head of the household OR twenty-one years old, they had to live only on the designated land, build a home, improve it, and farm the land for five years, and, finally, they had to be a United States citizen that had never taken up arms against America.

Which statement about the Virginia Plan is accurate?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

It inspired the creation of the New Jersey plan.

Explanation:

The Virginia Plan, as we all know it, was a plan introduced early on in regards of proper representation. It supported the interests of the more populated states, and called for a bicameral legislature with representation based on states’ population. As a result New Jersey, being a state with a much smaller population, introduced the New Jersey Plan. It stated the exact opposite of the Virginia Plan, stating each state should have fair representation regardless of wealth, population, or size.
