Answer:

Option: C. They viewed Alaska as a remote, snowbound, barren territory.

Explanation:

Alaska was a part of the Russian Empire in the 17th century, but Russian was not able to settle there. After losing the Crimean War, Russian Empire decided to sell Alaska to the United States. It was under the negotiation of William Seward and the Russian minister Stoecki the agreement was made. Alaska remained remote after its purchase from the Russian Empire for many years, and critics called Alaska to purchase “Seward’s Folly”.

the Articles of Confederation allowed each state only one vote in Congress. Which question reflects a major concern states had a
Lena [83]

Many political figures at the time felt representation in Congress should be based on the amount of free men each state had and their "quota of contribution". Notably, James Madison drafted the Virginia Plan with this proposition in mind. States with a large population (Virginia being the biggest at the time), would therefore have more representatives than smaller states. Naturally, large states backed up this plan, while smaller states were against it.

In the end the issues were settled on the Connecticut Compromise, which ensured the creation of a House of Representatives apportioned by population, and a Senate in which each state is equally represented.


Hope this helps!
