Answer 1

Answer: The "Great Compromise," also known as the Connecticut Compromise or the Sherman Compromise, was proposed by Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut, at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The compromise proposed a bicameral Congress, with one house (the House of Representatives) being based on population and the other (the Senate) having equal representation from each state. The Great Compromise was eventually adopted and became a key part of the United States Constitution. So the correct answer is B. Connecticut.
