population.

Answer 1

During the Constitutional Convention, small states did not want their representation based on **population**. They were concerned that if representation were to be based on population, larger states would dominate the legislative process. This concern led to the compromise that established a bicameral legislature, with the Senate giving equal representation to all states regardless of size, and the House of Representatives doing so based on population.
