Answer 1

Based on the context of the puzzle pieces representing the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan, it seems the question relates to the structure of government and compromises during the formation of the U.S. Constitution.

The Virginia Plan proposed a strong national government with representation based on population, while the New Jersey Plan favored state sovereignty and equal representation regardless of population. The "Great Compromise" (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) resolved this conflict by creating a bicameral legislature, combining elements of both plans.

Therefore, the correct answer to replace the question mark in the diagram would be:

**Great Compromise**
