Explanation:

Question #6

The New Jersey and Virginia plans were revised under the Connecticut Compromise (also known as the Great Compromise), brokered by Connecticut. New York, Rhode Island, and Maine were not involved in brokering this compromise.

The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. The states had most of the power, and the central government (Congress) had limited authority, such as no power to tax or regulate commerce effectively. So the statement that it created a strong central government is false.

Baron de Montesquieu is known for developing the idea of separation of powers (dividing government into legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent tyranny). Limited government and representative democracy have other origins or were developed by other thinkers in the context of U.S. government.

Answer:

D. Connecticut
