The framers of the constitution hoped the smaller senate would

The Framers of the Constitution hoped the smaller Senate would be a more responsible body than the House.

The framers of the Constitution created the United States Senate seeking to  protect the rights of individual states and safeguard minority opinion in a system of government created to grant greater power to the national government. They modeled the Senate on governors' councils of the colonial era and on the state senates that had evolved since independence. The framers wanted the Senate to become an independent body of responsible citizens who would share power with the president and the House of Representative.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
