Question

at the constitutional convention, which proposed plan most strengthened the powers of the national government?
choose 1 answer:
a the new jersey plan
b the virginia plan
c the marshall plan
d the georgia plan

Explanation:

The New Jersey Plan favored states with smaller populations and kept more power with state governments. The Marshall Plan was a post-WWII economic aid program for Europe, unrelated to the Constitutional Convention. The Georgia Plan was not a major proposal at the convention. The Virginia Plan called for a strong national government with separate legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and a legislature with representation based on state population, which greatly expanded federal authority over the states.

Answer:

B. The Virginia Plan
