Answer 1

The correct statement about Alexander Hamilton during the Constitutional Convention is:

• He strongly opposed the Articles of Confederation.

Hamilton was an advocate for a stronger central government and was critical of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. He did not propose the Virginia Plan (that was proposed by James Madison), nor did he draft the New Jersey Plan (which was proposed by William Paterson), and he did not facilitate the Great Compromise (which was brokered by Robert Sherman and others).
