Question

In what way was the “Great Compromise” (the bicameral legislature— a House of Representatives and a Senate) a reasonable solution to keep Americans from both larger states and smaller states happy?

Answer 1

A bicameral legislature has two different chambers. The Great Compromise stated that the representation in the two branches for the United States would be different. For the senate, representation would be equal for all states. In the House of Representatives, representation would be based on population. This made small states happy because they had a voice in the senate and large states because they had power in the house.
