Under the Great Compromise, how many members would each state have in the lower house?

1 Answer

The Great Compromise of 1787 was a contract that both large and small states stretched during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that in part cleared the jurisdictive structure and representation that each state would have. The Great Compromise saved the Constitutional Convention, it called for proportionate representation in the House, and one representative per state in the Senate but this was later changed into two. Therefore, the answer is two.
