Question

Why were small states such as New Jersey happy

with the Great Compromise?
o It provided for representation by population in
Congress.
o It provided for equal representation in one
house of Congress.
It provided for a Congress made up of just
one house.

Answer 1

Answer: B) It provided for equal representation in one house of Congress.

Answer 2

It proved equal representation in one house of Congress

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Compromise created the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives would have representation based by population which was good for large large states with lots of people. The Senate had equal representation from every state no matter the population. This helped the small states such as New Jersey. New Jersey was glad that there was a house of Congress that was based on equal representation.
