Controversy between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan of congressional representation was settled by Shays' Rebellion. True or false??

Respuesta :

No, it is false that controversy between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan of congressional representation was settled by Shays' Rebellion, since it was Shays' Rebellion that signaled a need for there to be a stronger central government in the first place. 

Answer:

The statement is false, as the controversy between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan of congressional representation was settled by the Connecticut Compromise.

Explanation:

The Connecticut Commitment of 1787 united the Virginia Plan that favored population-based representation, and the New Jersey Plan, which listed each State as an equal. Roger Sherman, of Connecticut, played an important role in building this commitment.

It established a bicameral system: one chamber in favor of the Virginia Plan, based on the population of the States, and the other in accordance with the New Jersey Plan, by which all States voted in equality.
