Answer 1

The Great Compromise created a bicameral Congress with equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation in the House. The correct answers identifying portions of the Great Compromise are (B) Senate chosen by state legislatures using equal representation, (C) all tax or spending bills begin in the House, and (D) proportional election of the House by the people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the components of the Great Compromise, ratified at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Great Compromise resulted in a bicameral Congress, comprising two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state was granted equal representation in the Senate, with two senators per state, chosen by state legislatures, while representation in the House of Representatives was made proportional to each state's population, with members being popularly elected by the people.

Considering the options provided in the question, the portions of the Great Compromise accurately identified are:

• (B) The Senate would be chosen by state legislatures using equal representation.
• (C) All bills initiating taxes or spending would begin in the House of Representatives.
• (D) The House of Representatives would be elected by the people using proportional representation.

Option (E) regarding the division of the House of Representatives into districts by federal courts is not a portion of the Great Compromise. Therefore, the correct options that describe the portions of the Great Compromise are (B), (C), and (D).
