Correct answer (as highlighted in the choices shown):

<h2>Representation in the two legislative houses.</h2>

Explanation:

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787. It resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.

The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

Answer:

Native Americans

Explanation:

In 1754, Britain and France went to war over lands in the Ohio River Valley. This was called the French and Indian War. Colonists supported Britain, while the NATIVE AMERICANS allied themselves with the French.

This is evident from the common name given to the war which is "French and Indian War" (sometimes it is called Seven Years war because it officially lasted for seven years between 1756 to 1763)

Also, there is evidence from the fact that during this period, it is only French colonists that have better relations with the Native Americans compared to other European settlers in America.
