The correct response is:
To reach a compromise between large and small states.
This refers to the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise) during the Constitutional Convention, which established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate, thus addressing the concerns of both large and small states.
