The Great Compromise is a compromise regarding the formation of a new constitution between large and small countries. It solved many problems in the past.  

EXPLANATION

The Great Compromise  is also popularly known as the Sherman Compromise. This compromise happened in 1787. Compromise is an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 between delegations from countries with large and small populations which then determine the structure of the Congress and the number of representatives each country has in Congress based on the United States Constitution.

Problem solved by The Great Compromise  

The biggest debate between the delegates at the time of the Convention centered on how many representatives each country had to have in the making of new government law. So, the Great Compromise was needed to resolve the debate. At the beginning of the Constitutional Convention, the delegates visualized a Congress consisting of only one room with a specific number of rooms and representatives from each country.

The alternative of The Great Compromise  

Under a proposal submitted by a Connecticut delegation named Roger Sherman, Congress will be "bicameral" or a two-chamber with each state getting the number of representatives in the lower house (The House) in proportion to its population and having two representatives in the assembly height (The Senate).

Answer:

The Great Compromise was a compromise between large states and small states on the formation of a new constitution.

Explanation:

After American independence the Articles of Confederation resulted in many challenges in the smooth functioning of the state, and a convention was called to discuss the fomation of a new constitution also known as the Constitutional Convention 1987. Two alternatives were proposed: first was the Virginia Plan, and second the New Jersey Plan. According to the Virginia Plan there would be three branches of government namely legislature, executive and judiciary. Legislature would consist of two houses: upper and lower. And representation in these houses would be based on population. On the other hand the New Jersey Plan also proposed three branches of government. It, however, called for a single house legislature with powers of trade and taxation with each state having one vote. Small states opposed Virginia Plan; Virginia was a large state. Whereas large states opposed the New Jersey Plan; New Jersey was a small state. In the final plan a compromise was reached also known as the Great Compromise. According to the final plan the legislature would consist of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state would have equal members in Senate; in the House of Representatives the member would be based on population. The money bill would originate from House of Representative; this satisfied the large states. This plan also served the interests of small states by giving them more seats in upper house than they could otherwise have.

ddd [48]

The correct answer is A)To convince the American colonies to separate from Britain

Thomas Paine's famous pamhplet <em>Common Sense</em> was written as a means to convince colonists that they would be better of without British control. In the passage above, Paine argues that the colonists would have had more financial success without being controlled by England. This is due to the fact that the colonists were often limited to trading just with England as part of its system of mercantilism. This severely limited the colonists and their ability to trade with other countries.
