The answer is D.

William Patterson’s “New Jersey Plan” supported giving each state and equal amount of votes. Instead of the plan we use today which states that each state has the same number of senators and different numbers of congressmen (House of Representatives) based on the population of each state.

The reason why smaller states approved of this plan is because if each state has an equal amount of representatives, then the smaller states will be equal to states that have larger population. This plan is similar to The Articles to the Confederation. Which we know was not successful. Fortunately, people did not support this plan because they believed that this plan would make the national government they wanted weak.

What important Anti-federalist idea is expressed in this excerpt from the anti-federalist papers?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:The correct answer is C)Support of a bill of rights.

Explanation:

This excerpt from the Anti-Federalist Papers clearly represents the arguments as to why a bill of rights is necessary. This excerpt outlines how a federal government with too much control can result in no individual liberties for citizens. Along with this, it also outlines how too weak a federal government results in an ineffective government. This is why the author of this excerpt favors a bill of rights, as this will clearly outline the rights of citizens while also allowing for the federal government to have enough power to provide protection for these citizens without taking away their liberties.
