None of the statements provided about Alexander Hamilton during the Constitutional Convention are true. Here's a brief clarification of each:

1. **He proposed the Virginia plan**: This plan was actually proposed by James Madison and other delegates from Virginia.

2. **He strongly opposed the Articles of Consideration**: The correct term is "Articles of Confederation," and while Hamilton did advocate for a stronger central government, he was not a strong opponent of the Articles in the same sense as some others; rather, he recognized their weaknesses.

3. **He drafted the New Jersey Plan**: This plan was proposed by William Paterson and aimed to amend the Articles of Confederation.

4. **He facilitated The Great Compromise**: The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was primarily the result of the efforts of delegates like Roger Sherman and not Hamilton.

If you must choose one of the statements despite their inaccuracies, it would be best to say none of the options correctly depict Hamilton's role, as he was not directly responsible for any of those actions.
