Question

As this map shows, the Virginia Plan would have given Northern states greater control over the executive branch of the federal government due to the voting population. given Southern states greater control in the legislative branch of the federal government due to representation. weakened the federal government due to the disenfranchisement of the enslaved population. weakened the federal government due to the lack of taxes paid by the enslaved population.

Answer 1

Answer: given Southern states greater control in the legislative branch of the federal government due to representation.

Explanation:

The Virginia plan called for a bicameral legislature where there would be a Senate and a House of Representatives. This Congress would be represented proportionally meaning that states with higher populations would be dominant.

This would have given Southern states greater control over Congress because they had a large enslaved population that would have ensured that their population was considered large enough to get more seats.
