Question

The Connecticut compromise set up a bicameral legislature. What does this mean for a government

Answer 1

The compromise proposed by Sherman and Ellsworth provided for a dual system of representation. In the House of Representatives each state's number of seats would be in proportion to population. In the Senate, all states would have the same number of seats.

Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut, proposed the bicameral legislature structure. The Great Compromise, along with some other provisions, resulted in the creation of two houses, with representation based on population in one (the House of Representatives) and with equal representation in the other (the Senate).

Answer 2

What it meant is that congress was split into two separate lawmaking bodies. The house of representatives (which the number of representatives per state is based on population) and Senate (which every state has 2 senators).
