Explanation:

Answer:

b. Roger Sherman
It established a bicameral legislature: the Senate with equal representation per state, and the House of Representatives with representation based on state population.
d. 300,000
Northern states argued that enslaved people were not citizens, had no rights, and should not be used to increase Southern representation in Congress.
The slaveholding states likely would have refused to ratify the Constitution, preventing the formation of the United States as it was established.
c. 1808
The Constitution created a stronger central government with the power to tax, regulate interstate commerce, and enforce laws, established a system of checks and balances, and had a clear process for amendment, unlike the weak, decentralized government under the Articles of Confederation.
