Sort each proposal by placing it beneath the states that supported it.
dangina [55]

Virginia Plan--3. Called for bicameral legislature; 5. Called for proportional representation; 6. Was supported by larger states

New Jersey Plan--1. Called for equal representation; 2. Was supported by smaller states; 4. Called for a unicameral legislature

The Virginia and New Jersey Plans were proposals of how to handle the issue of a federal legislature and how representation would be determined for the legislature. The Virginia Plan called for two houses: an upper and lower and representation based on population. This plan would best serve the states with larger populations because they would have more say in the government. However, this plan would shut out the voices of smaller states. The New Jersey Plan suggested a one house legislature with each state having equal representation. Essentially they wanted to keep the same system created under the Articles of Confederation. This would give all states a say but not all voices would be counted. Ultimately, the Connecticut Compromise or Great Compromise settled the issue by creating a bi-cameral or two house legislature with one house having equal representation and the other house having representation based on population.

julsineya [31]
<span>The correct answer is 1.The supremacy of the federal government over the states was firmly established. The southern states couldn't try to secede anymore and had to do whatever the federal government controlled by the northerners wanted, while the northereners who would want to do something sketchy were wary because they knew how the south issues turned out in the end.</span>
