Answer 1

Option A, made all representation proportionate to the size of individual states, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Sherman Compromise is also called the Great Compromise or the Connecticut compromise.
• It was an agreement made between the small and the large states to define the power of each state would have in the Constitution of the United States and the legislature.
• This compromise presented a dual system of congressional representation.
• According to this compromise, each state, in the House of Representative, would be allocated seats in proportion to the population of its state.
• Moreover, the same number of seats would be assigned to all the states in the Senate.
