Answer:

The correct answer is C. The U.S. Constitution contains the provision from the Virginia Plan that the House representation is proportional to population size (although originally the Virginia Plan proposed a proportional representation for the Senate too).

Explanation:

One of the main features of the Virginia Plan, and one of the most controversial issues during the Constitutional Convention, lay in the design of the Legislature. The plan provided for a two-chamber system in which both chambers should be chosen in proportion to the number of inhabitants. The population of each state would choose the lower house directly, which in turn would elect the members of the upper house. This proposal was criticized in particular by the less populous states, which feared a loss of power within the central government. As a counter-proposal, they submitted the New Jersey Plan.

The solution to the conflict came after long debates in the Connecticut Compromise, which also provided for two chambers. The lower house should consist of directly elected representatives (today's House of Representatives). In the upper house, each state should have exactly two representatives appointed by them (the current Senate). From 1913, the senators are elected directly.

Is the current tendency by Americans to blame the poor for their condition similar to racist attitudes that existed in the past?
ddd [48]
Yes, the current American tendency to blame the poor for unfavorable conditions is similar to racist attitudes of the past. Groups in power, whether by class or race, have always tended to attribute their issues to outside parties such as the less-privileged strata of society. For example, Hitler blamed Germany’s post-WWI economic and political suffering on the domestic Jewish population, encouraging the entitled and intolerant “Aryan” Germans. In America today, political groups that are composed of the most-fortunate demographics of society tend to blame the poor for high taxes and invasive social programs. As always, xenophobia against impoverished immigrants prevails and continues to perpetuate the use of “scape-goats” for economic and societal issues brought by other factors.

Airida [17]
It was "Karl Marx" who envisioned a classless society, with common people in charge of their destiny, since this was the basis of communism, which came to fruition most famously in the Soviet Union.
