Answer:

According to the Great Compromise, representation in the House of Representatives would be based on each state's population and every state would have two senators.

Explanation:

The Connecticut Compromise of 1787 in the United States, also known as the Great Compromise, was created to resolve the issue of representation that emerged in the creation of legislative bodies. It merged the Virginia Plan that favored population-based representation, and the New Jersey Plan, which listed each state as an equal. It established a bicameral system: one chamber in favor of the Plan of Virginia, based on the population of the States, and the other according to the Plan of New Jersey, by which all the States voted in equality.
