Answer: D.) It merged the ideas of multiple delegates’ plans.
It created a fresh new plan, incorporating the elements of a number of delegates’ ideas. The Great Compromise, otherwise known as the Connecticut Compromise, fused the Virginia Plan (representation based on population) and the New Jersey Plan (equalitarianism for all states) by suggesting a bicameral legislature which had an upper house composed of contingents which were equated for all states and a lower house in which representation was based upon populace demographics
