7 0

Answer:

The quote is by Irish historian and Politican James Bryce.

With the quote, Bryce is explaining that in democracy, citizens not only have political rights, but are also expected to engage actively in the political process: by voting for their representatives, by keeping an eye on public affairs, and so on.

At the same time, Bryce is saying that citizen dedication to democracy results in benefits for the people: the benefit of political freedom and civil liberties, and also the benefit of a better life made possible under this political system.

At the constitutional convention in 1787, which issue was resolved by the Great compromise?
V125BC [204]
At the constitutional convention in 1787, the issue of representation in the United States Legislature was resolved by the Great Compromise. The Great Compromise happened in the year 1787 over a debate regarding the way the states should be represented. Larger states demanded more representation while the smaller states thought that it was unfair and the representation should be equal. Roger Sherman understood that this debate could reach a point where everything would be destroyed and so he started the process of the Great Compromise. <span> </span>

Explain the goals of the Constitutional Convention and creation of the Great Compromise
nordsb [41]

Answer:

the answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The constitutional convention was held from May 14 to September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia. Its purpose was to decide to decide to revise the Articles of Confederation  and decide how America would be governed in future, while the great compromise was the solution that how the congressional power would be shared between the larger and smaller states

It was an agreement between the small states and the large states regarding the sharing of power under the US constitution.  The compromise solved the issue of representation of states in the congress. It established house of Representatives and allowed them to work efficiently.

The smaller states demanded equal representation while the larger states wanted proportional representation based on population.

The small sates got equal representation in the Senate while the larger states got the House of Representatives that followed the proportional representation.  

Both the Constitutional convention and great compromise were meant to safeguard the future of USA.
