Answer 4

the Virginia plan didn't that like want to make the different branches?

Answer 5

ok so the Virginia and New jersey plans had to do with representation in congress. yes, Madison's Virginia Plan outlined a government with the different branches.

also, we are eliminating option D because it is the same as option C, they're interchangeable.

now if the virginia plan had proposed different branches, would it be unicameral ?

Answer 6

yeah i think
