How did Roger Sherman show his civic virtue
s2008m [1.1K]

The way that Roger Sherman showed is civic virtue was A. He created the Great Compromise by combining the Vir-ginia and New Jersey plans.

<h3>What did Roger Sherman do?</h3>

Roger Sherman was one of the founding fathers and he was instrumental in establishing the constitution when he came up with the Great Compromise.

The reason he did this was because he was opposed to the Vir-ginia plan which was developed by James Madison and called for both Houses of Congress to have representation that would be based on the size and population of a state.

Being from the small state of Connecticut, he knew that the plan would not favor small states and so he developed the Great Compromise. This plan meant that the Senate would have equal representation while the House of Representatives would have representation based on population.

In conclusion, option A is correct.
