<u>The option (D) is correct. The great depression helped in drafting a new constitution by planning for the states' representatives in congress. </u>

Further Explanation:

Great Compromise 1787:

The great compromise was an agreement made during the establishment of the USA constitution. While drafting the USA constitution, delegates of each state were called up for the establishment of the constitution. The delegates of the states were arguing on the issue of the representatives number from each state that should be part of the congress. High-populated states favored that the representatives should be elected based on the population of the state, and low-populated states favored the same number of representatives for each.

The conclusion of the great compromise was as follows:

• The number of house of representatives should be dependent on the population of the state.

• Each state should have two senates.

<u>Thus, the great depression helped in drafting a new constitution by planning for the states' representatives in congress. </u>

Which of the following choices is a criticism of the media in the U.S.?
faltersainse [42]

Looking at all of the options available, only 2) is a criticism. The media sometimes ignores opposing views.

Saying the media is unbiased is not criticism, neither is saying they research their stories or use a variety of sources.

I hope this helps! :)
