1. Why did people from small states (states with fewer people) want all the states to hav ether same number of votes in the federal legislature? What did they fear?

A: Smaller states would be at a disavantage if votes are dependandant on population. A bigger state would have more delegates than the smaller ones. They feared having less power in elections and less representation, and that larger states would have the control.

2. Why did people from larger states (states with more people) want representation to be based on the population? What was their argument?

A: They believed that larger states should have more representation in Congress, proportionate to the state's population and size. That would give them more authority.

3. Why was the compromise creating a two-house chamber (the House of Representatives and the senate) to balance the needs of smaller and larger states the best solution? Explain.

A: The Compromise pleased the smaller states by giving them equal representation in the Senate regardless of its population, while it met the larger states expectations by determining that the House would be based on proportional representation. This way both large and small states had some authority in the federal legislature.

The  description of the above three questions are:

1. People from small states want all the states to have the same number of votes in the federal legislature because of its population.

2. People from larger states wanted representation to be based on the population because they accepted bigger states.

3. The compromise, creating a two-house chamber to balance the needs of smaller and larger states, is the best solution because of giving equal representation.

1.

What is the federal legislature?

Congress is called the legislative branch of the U.S. government. It has two parts,

  • The Senate and

  • The House of Representatives.

Smaller states would be a liability if votes are dependent on population. A bigger state would have so many delegates than the smaller delegates. They worried about having little power in elections and less representation, and that larger states would have the power.

2.

People from larger states wanted representation to be based on the population because they accepted that bigger states should have more representation in Congress, relative to the population of the state and size. That would give them more control.

3.

The Compromise pleased the littler states by giving them equal representation in the Lawmakers regardless of their population, while it met the larger states' beliefs by determining that the House would be based on proportional representation. This way, both large and small states had some authority in the federal legislature.
