History

Both plans involved how the new Constitution would define representation in Congress. The Virginia Plan proposed that the number of delegates be based upon population, thus favoring larger states with more people. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state have an equal number of delegates, thus favoring smaller states with fewer people. 

Under the Virginia Plan, a state like Virginia would have had a much greater say in Congress than smaller New Jersey since Virginia had a larger population. Under the New Jersey Plan, New Jerseyans would have had a disproportionate say relative to Virginians. Consider this, if each state had two delegates (under the NJ Plan) let's say New Jersey had 500,000 people and Virginia had 1,000,000 (not the real numbers). With two delegates, New Jersey would have had 1 say in Congress per 250,000 voters while Virginia would have had 1 say in Congress per 500,000 voters. 

These differences were resolved by creating a bicameral legislature. Today, the House of Representatives is a remnant of the Virginia Plan. States with larger populations have more seats in the House than those with smaller populations. For example, California has far more Representatives than Wyoming meaning California has a much greater say in the House. The Senate, on the other hand, is a remnant of the New Jersey Plan. Each state has two Senators regardless of population, which means each state has an equal say. Again, California has two Senators and Wyoming has two Senators despite the fact that California is much larger than Wyoming - this gives Wyoming a much greater say per voters than California. No law can pass through Congress without approval from both chambers of Congress, which means that smaller states are not overpowered, while larger states still have the ability to set the agenda.

nikitadnepr [17]

With the regards to the statement that if not for Americans participating in WWI, Prohibition would not happen, this statement is <u>false</u>.

<h3>Why is this statement false?</h3>

The movement to enact prohibition was already growing strongly before the First World War broke out.

In fact, before the U.S. joined the war, those in support of Prohibition had majorities in the two houses of Congress. WWI was merely an event that sped up the rate of prohibition and without it, Prohibition would have still happened at a later stage.

How did advances in military technology after the Industrial Revolution affect
kozerog [31]

Answer:

C. They allowed small European armies to defeat larger African and Asian forces when invading territory.

Explanation:

The rise of industrial economies throughout European empires allowed the appearance of new technologies that increased mobility, logistics and destruction power of European armies, which contributed the transformation of such organisations into more compact and professional structures, capable of destroying larger forces, though less modern, in Asia and Africa, making possible the occupation of vast territories for colonisation purposes.

Some millitary inventions are described below:

1) Gatling machine gun (1.861).

2) Steamboats (1.820s).

3) Chemical weapons (1.880s).

4) Repeating rifles (1.870s).

5) Trench warfare (1.860s).

Hence, correct answer is C.
