History

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  Also known as "The Connecticut  Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.   It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

The large population states had wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  

The Great Compromise (<em>aka</em> Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Great Compromise of 1787 was an agreement that large and small states reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that established a two-house legislature under the United States Constitution. It retained the bicameral legislature as proposed by Roger Sherman, along with proportional representation in the lower house. It required the upper house, United States Senate, to have two members from each state.The lower house, or House of Representatives, would have representation based on the population of a state.

Explain the long-term historical factors that moved america toward independence from britain.
barxatty [35]
There were several factors that moved America towards independence from Britain. They are as followed:

1) The development of an American culture- Even though the colonists were still part of Great Britain during the 18th century, many of these individuals were natives of the colonies and had never even been to Great Britain before. This is a huge transformation from when settlers came here originally to find freedom from religious persecution during the early 16th and17th centuries.

2) Colonists being forced to into wars they did not want to fight in- The British army was constantly fighting with other European powers like France in North America. This resulted in colonists being part of wars they did not want to be in (like the French and Indian War).

What was significant about the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The defeat at Marathon barely touched the vast resources of the Persian empire, yet for the Greeks it was an enormously significant victory. It was the first time the Greeks had beaten the Persians, proving that the Persians were not invincible, and that resistance, rather than subjugation, was possible.

The battle was a defining moment for the young Athenian democracy, showing what might be achieved through unity and self-belief; indeed, the battle effectively marks the start of a "golden age" for Athens. This was also applicable to Greece as a whole; "their victory endowed the Greeks with a faith in their destiny that was to endure for three centuries, during which western culture was born" John Stuart Mill's famous opinion was that "the Battle of Marathon, even as an event in British history, is more important than the Battle of Hastings" According to Isaac Asimov,"if the Athenians had lost in Marathon, . . . Greece might have never gone to develop the peak of its civilization, a peak whose fruits we moderns have inherited."

It seems that the Athenian playwright Aeschylus considered his participation at Marathon to be his greatest achievement in life

What foreign actions tested Jefferson's policy of neutrality ? These would end up being 2 causes of the War of 1812.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

  • British Impressment of American Sailors.
  • British restriction of U.S. trade.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson tried to follow the ideology of George Washington in that the U.S. must remain neutral in issues relating to other countries especially those of Europe. The British however, were engaged in war with the French and so engaged in policies that angered the United States.

The first was Impressment. The British needed sailors in their fight against the French and so would regularly seize American Sailors and add them to the Royal Navy's ranks to bolster their numbers. This was tantamount to kidnap and infuriated the American public.

The other was the restriction of trade with Europe (France in particular) by the British. The British demanded by American ships go to Britain first if they were going to Europe and captured American ships sailing there so as to deny Napoleon any American supplies. This had disastrous effects on the American economy as many suffered from being unable to export freely.
