Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Large and small states fought over representation in Congress. Large states favored representation by population, while small states argued for equal representation by State.

The "Great Compromise" allowed for both by establishing the House of Representatives, which was apportioned by populations, and the Senate which represented the states equally.
