The correct answer to replace the question mark in the diagram is **Great Compromise**.
The Virginia Plan proposed a strong central government and a bicameral legislature based on population, while the New Jersey Plan advocated for a single legislative body with equal representation for each state. The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, resolved the dispute between these two plans by creating a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate.
