Question

Which solution was proposed by the Great Compromise?

1 Each state's representation would be based on its population.

2 Each state would have equal power by having one representative each in Congress.

3 The government would have two branches of Congress, one based on state population and the other on an equal number of representatives.

Answer 1

Answer: Each state would have two senators, while representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. Finally, the delegates reached an agreement known as the "Grand Compromise", also known as the Connecticut Compromise. So the correct choice is for the government to have two branches of Congress, one based on the state population and the other based on an equal number of representatives.
