Question 8 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which statement about the Virginia Plan is accurate?

Answer
A
It called for a unicameral legislature.
B
It proposed an executive staff instead of a single executive.
C
It supported the interests of the smaller states.
D
It inspired the creation of the New Jersey Plan.

Explanation

The Virginia Plan proposed a national government with a strong legislature in which representation was based on population, favoring larger states. Smaller states opposed it and developed the New Jersey Plan as an alternative, so the Virginia Plan inspired its creation. It called for a bicameral legislature and a single executive, making A and D inaccurate.
