Question

Which statement best completes the diagram showing how civic virtue led to the Great Compromise?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. James Madison agreed to accept the changes proposed to his Virginia Plan.

Explanation:

The statement that best completes the diagram showing how civic virtue led to the Great Compromise is "James Madison agreed to accept the changes proposed to his Virginia Plan"

"The Great Compromise" was possible because James Madison agreed to accept the changes proposed to his Virginia Plan. His Virginia Plan was actually favouring the larger states and didn't really support smaller states.

When the Great Compromise was made by Roger Sherman, he combined both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan was adopted but modified as some ideas from the New Jersey Plan were also added. So, for large states, it was proportional representation and for small states, it was equal representation.

So, James Madison agreement to allow changes to his Virginia Plan revealed his civic virtue.
