Question

During the Philadelphia Convention, delegates from Virginia put forth a

plan that called for a Bicameral Legislature. In this plan there would be a
lower house in congress whose members would be chosen by the people
and an upper house in which members would be elected by the lower
house. The plan also said that the representation in each house would be
based on the population of each state, and based on monetary
contributions to the national government from each state. Which states
would benefit the most in the plan described above?

A) States with small populations
B) States with large amounts of natural resources
C) States with large populations
D) States that had the most territory

Answer 1

Correct answer is C) States with large populations

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the correct answer because it is clearly said that representation in the houses was based on the population of each states. That normally means that states with large population were able to have more influence in the decision making process.

A is false because states with small populations had the least rights in that sense.

B isn't directly mentioned in here, so it doesn't apply.

D also is not correct, because having a lot of territory doesn't mean to have a large population.
