How did the great compromise settle? The problem of representation in Congress was it gave each state to representatives in Congress and two representatives in the House of Representatives or it allowed states to have equal numbers of representatives and Congress or state two senators and the number of representatives based on population or last it made all states pay the same federal taxes.

Answer 1

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was a crucial agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that addressed the issue of representation in Congress. It established a bicameral legislature consisting of two houses:

1. The Senate: Each state would have equal representation, with two senators per state, regardless of population.

2. The House of Representatives: Representation would be based on population, with larger states having more representatives than smaller states.

So, the correct understanding of the Great Compromise is that it allowed states to have equal numbers of representatives in the Senate (two per state) and representation in the House based on population.

It did not address federal taxes directly.
