The best explanation for why the Framers created a bicameral Congress is:

The bicameral Congress was created due to a compromise following a dispute over state representation.

This reflects the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise) during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where the structure of Congress was designed with one chamber (the House of Representatives) representing the population of the states and another chamber (the Senate) providing equal representation for each state.
