The New Jersey Plan proposed a unicameral (one house) legislature where each state was equal, regardless of population size (this favored small states). This plan maintained the form of government under the Articles of Confederation while giving Congress the powers to tax and regulate commerce and foreign affairs. The Virginia Plan, on the other hand, proposed 3 branches of government (judicial, legislative (to be divided into the Senate and House of Representatives), and executive). States in this plan would be represented by population (bigger states had an advantage here because they had more people and would have more power). To compromise these two ideas, the Great Compromise (aka the Connecticut Compromise) created a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population while in the Senate each state received the same amount of seats (2). Additionally, 3 branches of government (judicial, executive, and legislative) were created to balance power and create checks and balance between the other branches (keep them all from abusing power, regulate one another). This plan appeased both the small states and the large states because each got a fair system of representation (part of both plans were used to create the governmental structure of the United States).

Magna Carta inspire later documents by (C) declaring that the monarchy was subject to some limits.
<u>Explanation</u>:
There is no doubt of the influence Magna Carta made on the constitution, being it the first official document that mentioned people’s rights and the importance of securing them at all costs.

This means that the power and terms of references that the ruler has in his territory has wildly changed and became more limited. Due to this document, many states constitutions started including a set of declaration rights that can protect citizens and provide them with immunity from any sort of oppression.
Britain's original motive for wanting to control the Middle East was primarily strategic: by dominating a belt of territory stretching from Egypt to Iran it could control the route between Europe and India.
