Answer 1

Answer:C

Explanation:The answer is C because during the 1787 the sherman said in that in the senate the states should be equally represented.The answer is not A because population is based on the house representation not the senate according to the sherman in 1787.

Answer 2

The answer is C.

The Senate is made up of 2 senators from each state. The number doesn't change based on population or area.

In the House of Representatives, the number of representatives for each state is based on population. States with a larger population will have more representatives in the House of Representatives. (Also, the number of representatives for each state is not based on the area of the state.)

This bicameral legislature came from the "Great Compromise," where the Founding Fathers couldn't pick one system of representation over another, so they went with both.
