Question

1. the \great compromise\ of the constitutional convention settled the debate about how states would be represented in the legislative (law - making) branch of government. describe how states would be represented in the house of representatives and the senate.

Explanation:

The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) established a bicameral legislature. For the House of Representatives, representation is based on a state's population. This means larger states with more people have more representatives, while smaller states have fewer. For the Senate, each state is given equal representation, with every state having exactly two senators, regardless of its population size. This balanced the interests of both large and small states, as large states favored population - based representation and small states favored equal representation.

Answer:

• House of Representatives: Representation of each state in the House of Representatives is based on the state's population. States with larger populations have more representatives, and states with smaller populations have fewer representatives.
• Senate: Each state is represented equally in the Senate, with every state having two senators, regardless of the state's population.
