Question 22 • US History

Which of these is the best example of a major dispute during the Constitutional Convention?

Answer
A
the House of Representatives vs. the Senate
B
the Articles of Confederation vs. the United States Constitution
C
the Virginia Plan vs. the New Jersey Plan
D
the Three-Fifths Compromise vs. the Great Compromise

Explanation

A major dispute at the Constitutional Convention was over how states would be represented in the national legislature. The Virginia Plan favored representation based on population, while the New Jersey Plan favored equal representation for each state. The delegates debated these competing proposals before reaching the Great Compromise, so the Virginia Plan vs. the New Jersey Plan is the best example.
