Answer 1

The congressional structure created by the framers of the Constitution was established primarily to **reach a compromise between large and small states**. This compromise led to the creation of a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives (which favored larger states based on population) and the Senate (which favored smaller states with equal representation). This structure was a key outcome of the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
