Answer
A
the House of Representatives vs. the Senate
B
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 eventually addressed this disagreement through the Great Compromise, so the best example is the Virginia Plan vs. the New Jersey Plan.
