Answer:

The Virginia Plan was a proposal to establish a bicameral (two-branch) legislature in the newly founded United States. Drafted by James Madison in 1787, the plan recommended that states be represented based upon their population numbers, and it also called for the creation of three branches of government. While the Virginia Plan was not adopted in full, parts of the proposal were incorporated into the Great Compromise of 1787, which laid the foundation for the creation of the U.S. Constitution.

The states that supported the Virginia plan were large states like New york. The representatives knew that the provisions would give large states more influence in congress. Sen. Chistopher D. Martin(D-Ga) as well as Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina,...

The New Jersey Plan was a proposal for the structure of the U.S. federal government put forward by William Paterson at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The proposal was a response to the Virginia Plan, which Paterson believed would put too much power in large states to the disadvantage of smaller states. The small colonies supported the New Jersey Plan. They favored this plan because it proposed a Congress that was unicameral (having one house) and each state would have the same number of representatives or votes.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, the Great Compromise of 1787, or the Sherman Compromise, was an agreement made between large and small states which partly defined the representation each state would have under the United States Constitution, as well as in legislature. It occurred in 1787. The Connecticut Compromise resulted from a debate among delegates on how each state could have representation in the Congress. The Great Compromise led to the creation of a two-chambered Congress. Also created was the House of Representative which is determined by a state’s population. The agreement retained the bicameral legislature, but the upper house had to change to accommodate two senators to represent each state. The deal reshaped the American government structure striking a balance between the highly populated states and their demands while at the same time taking into consideration the less-populous state and their interests.

Which factor most greatly limits the power of the US government
Ulleksa [173]
The correct answer should be the constitution because nobody is above the constitution. There are rules there on how the government is chosen, how it is changed, how it is kept in check, and if something is unconstitutional it is banned instantly by courts, and the government can't do anything that goes against the constitution.

horsena [70]

The life of peasants under the Tokugawa Shogunate was they paid high taxes and mainly lived in poverty.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The main job of the peasants in the Tokugawa Shogunate was to grow crops and do farming. These peasants barely owned the land on which they could only live or some of them did not even own land and they had to rent it from the land lords and had to work as tenant farmers. They also had to pay rent, sometimes in the form of rice, and all these situations led to them living in poverty.
