The correct answer is B) cowardly.

The word pusillanimous most likely means cowardly.

When Thomas Jefferson expressed: "The pusillanimous idea that we had friends in England worth keeping terms with, still haunted the minds of many," he tried to say that the coward idea of thinking that they had friends was out of his mind.

He received the help of the Committee formed by Robert Livingstone, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and John Adams. Jefferson was inspire3d bye the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason.

Why was compromise essential for the creation of the constitution?
Kipish [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Compromise gave larger states more say in the House of Representatives by tying representation there to state population, at the same time keeping state representation equal in the Senate by giving each state two votes.

One of the major compromises in the Constitutional Convention was between the small states and big states. The small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in Congress. The big states wanted representation based on population.
