Final answer:
Jefferson's plan was not approved solely because people feared that the new states would outvote the old states.
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement The reason Jefferson's plan was approved was because people feared that the new states would outvote the old states is FALSE.
While it is true that smaller states favored Jefferson's plan because it provided equal representation in the Senate, the main reason his plan was approved was because it struck a balance between a strong national government and preserving state powers.
Some delegates believed that the states were better equipped to understand and protect the needs of their residents.
Jefferson's plan, known as the New Jersey Plan, gave additional power to the national government, but still retained a lot of power with the states. The fear of being outvoted by the more populous states was not the main reason for its approval.
