weaken or destroy government

Answer 1

the correct answer choice would be the last one. Shake it to its foundations basically means to weaken or destroy the government. Hope its not too late.

Answer 2

Answer;

Weaken or destroy government

Step-by-step explanation;

According to Randolph If equality between great and small States be inadmissible, because in that case unequal numbers of constituents would be represented by equal numbers of votes, was it not equally inadmissible, that a larger and more populous district of America, should hereafter have less representation than a smaller and less populous district.

He further noted that; If a fair representation of the people be not secured, the injustice of the Government will shake it to its foundations.
