Representatives are based on the population of the states. The more people in the state the more representatives that state gets. But each state only gets 2 senator

This is because of proportional representation.

The legislature is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is considered the state's house, and elects the same number of representatives for each state, so as to maintain the equality of states in their demands.

However, the house of representatives elects deputies in a proportional way, that is, the states with the highest population density elect more representatives than the less populous states. It is a reasonable measure that maintains the proportionality of representation.

What did the Great Compromise decide? *
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

wikipedia says: "The Connecticut Compromise (also known as the Great Compromise of 1787 or Sherman Compromise) was an agreement that large and small states reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that in part defined the legislative structure and representation that each state would have under the United States Constitution. It retained the bicameral legislature as proposed by Roger Sherman, along with proportional representation of the states in the lower house or House of Representatives, but required the upper house or Senate to be weighted equally among the states. Each state would have two representatives in the upper house."

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

They have the same latitude.

Explanation:

Latitudes are measuring how far or near geographical thing is from the North or South pole.

Canda and Russia are both on the same latitude, nearer to the North. <u>That means, if we were to draw the parallel lines around the Earth, they would be on the same line, near the top part of the planet. </u>

<u>Because they are near the North, they have a cooler climate with harsh winters and lower temperatures.</u> Counties that are nearer to the north and which have a higher latitude to it have the colder temperature.
