C. Locate sources that contradict the author's evidence and conclusions.
Notice some of the broad, sweeping claims made by the author, without support from any cited references:
"I think its capital city had the largest population of any city in all world history." All of world history would include modern cities that have vastly more population than any city in ancient Greece.
"I bet its military conquered nearly all of Europe, Asia, and Africa." That didn't happen -- thus no authoritative sources to cite to prove it did.
"I've heard a report that said" ... What report? Where? Cite the source!
A historian would be able to challenge and refute the claims of this author by citing actual, reliable material that contradicts his unfounded claims.

The aspect of American democracy that first emerged because of disparities in size between the colonies that became the United States was the Connecticut Compromise.
We are talking about the difficult moment in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Federalists and Antifederalists were discussing their own postures, delegates from the colonies tried to defend their interests, and some plans such as the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan confronted the delegates.
After so much discussion, the Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise of 1787 was the agreement between small states and large states that established the representation in Congress.
Yes because back then, India was a colony of England and basically owned by a company called the East India company with military enforcement. The people had no representation and also were forced to pay taxes such as the salt tax that ghandi famously went against during the salt March.
Likewise, the united states back then was also a colony of India and had no representation as well as had to pay taxes from laws such as the stamp act. Their values in fighting for independence and free reign were very similar. So yes.
