How did the Great Compromise settle the problem of representation in Congress? (1 point)

1 answer

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, settled the problem of representation in Congress by creating a bicameral legislature. It established two houses: the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, favoring larger states, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators, favoring smaller states. This compromise balanced the interests of both large and small states, ensuring that all states had a voice in the legislative process.
