The correct answer is:
C. to ensure the less populous Northern states would have the same representation as Southern states
The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state, regardless of its population size, would have an equal number of representatives in the legislature. This was aimed at ensuring that smaller states, many of which were in the North, would not be dominated by larger states in representation, promoting a sense of equality among states.

To provide the best answer to this question, I would need context about the diagram you are referring to. However, based on common themes in American history, if the diagram is regarding events or legislation that highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the best answer would likely be:
A. Shays' Rebellion
Shays' Rebellion was a significant event that illustrated the issues with the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger central government, leading to the Constitutional Convention. If the diagram relates to land policies or territorial organization rather than governance, the Northwest Ordinance (C) or the Land Ordinance (B) might be appropriate.
If you provide more context about the diagram or its focus, I can give a more accurate answer!
