History

denis-greek [22]3 years ago
3 0

The Great Compromise was one of the agreements made during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. States that had a greater population argued that they should have a greater representation in Congress. Smaller states demanded equal representation, as they argued that unequal representation would lead to an unfair dominance of the larger states over the country's affairs.

Roger Sherman ultimately came with the solution of a Congress with two houses. The House of Representatives would have representation proportional to the population in each state. However, the Senate would have 2 representatives per state. Regardless of their population.

gavmur [86]
The Enlightenment movement hugely influenced the west, especially the United States and the Founding Fathers.

Pull Factors: Factors that appeal to a person about the new location
In England, most people were peasants or tenant farmers who worked on more wealthy citizens land. There was not a lot of land and if it was for sale it was usually very expensive.
In the colonies, land seemed abundant. Many of the first settlers were given free land by a colony or purchased the land cheaply.
Native Americans were pushed out of land because the settlers did not understand how Native Americans viewed land.
The availability of land was a major reason many settlers came to the colonies.
Many colonists came as indentured servants.
Colonial landowners or businessmen would pay for the indentured servants travel to the colonies and in return the person would work for the landowner or businessman for an agreed upon length.
During the time the person was indentured, they gave up certain freedoms while they worked. It was very similar to slavery, but these people choose to become indentured servants and could eventually obtain freedom.
Once the debt was worked off, the indentured servant was free to start their own life in the colonies.
