USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neither the large nor the small states would yield, but the deadlock was resolved by the Connecticut, or Great, Compromise, which resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the lower house and equal representation of the states in the upper house.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Compromise proposed that each state would get two senators irrespective of the size of their population. In other words, larger states have more power in the House of Representatives, but the largest and the smallest states have the same power in the Senate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The compromise provided for a bicameral federal legislature that used a dual system of representation: the upper house would have equal representation from each state, while the lower house would have proportional representation based on a state’s population.

Detailed explanation-4: -Delegates from small states argued-with similar intensity-that all states should be equally represented in both houses. When Roger Sherman proposed the Great Compromise, Benjamin Franklin agreed that each state should have an equal vote in the Senate in all matters-except those involving revenue and spending.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Great Compromise settled the method of representation in the legislative branch. Small states wanted equal representation, and large states wanted representation based on population (equality by vote). Under the compromise, all states were represented equally in the Senate.
