Answer is b I think sorry if me wrong
The Dred Scott Supreme Court case ruled that slaves are property and are allowed in all states/territories, even if slavery is outlawed in the state constitution.
This idea supports the concept of nullification, as states that abolished slavery would nullify (refuse) to follow this ruling because they felt it was unconstitutional.
This idea also limited the power of the federal government to restrict the expansion of slavery because the court ruled that slaves do not have legal rights and are considered property no matter where they go. This meant that slavery can essentially exist anywhere in the US and the federal government couldn't change that unless they made a national law/amendment that outlawed slavery.
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.
