Question 6 • United States Government

In what part of the Great Compromise are the ideas of the Virginia Plan represented?

Answer
A
the Unicameral Legislature
B
the Office of the President
C
the House of Representatives
D
the Senate

Explanation

The Virginia Plan favored representation based on each state’s population, giving larger states more influence in Congress. The Great Compromise used that idea in the House of Representatives, where seats are apportioned according to population. The Senate instead reflects the New Jersey Plan’s call for equal representation for every state.
