Question #6
The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) was about resolving the dispute between large and small states over representation in the legislative branch. It established a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives (based on population) and the Senate (equal representation for each state). The other options: the amendment process, executive branch power, and slavery - related agreements (like the Three - Fifths Compromise or later Missouri Compromise) are not what the Great Compromise was about.
The government under the Articles of Confederation was very weak. It had no power to tax, no strong executive, and required unanimous consent for many actions. It was not capable of effectively protecting the nation, dealing with issues like Shays' Rebellion which exposed its weaknesses.
The Articles of Confederation had a weak court system, and the Constitution established a stronger federal court system (including the Supreme Court) to handle disputes between states, among other things. The Constitution's addition of a federal court system helped resolve interstate disputes, not just hearing issues. But the key point is that the Constitution did correct the problem of unresolved disputes between states with a more robust court system (and other provisions like the supremacy clause). So the statement is True? Wait, no. Wait, the original Articles of Confederation had no real court system to resolve disputes between states. The Constitution created the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court which has jurisdiction over disputes between states. So the Constitution did correct the problem of unresolved disputes between states by adding a court system (the federal judiciary) that could handle such disputes (not just hearing, but resolving). Wait, the statement says "The Constitution corrected the problem of unresolved disputes between states with the addition of a court system specifically and only for hearing issues between states." The Supreme Court and federal courts do hear and resolve disputes between states. So the statement is True? Wait, maybe I misread. Let's re - examine: "The Constitution corrected the problem of unresolved disputes between states with the addition of a court system specifically and only for hearing issues between states." The federal court system (Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in disputes between states) was added by the Constitution, and it does handle (hear and resolve) disputes between states. So the statement is True.
