The correct answer is representation.

At the constitutional convention, big and small states fought constantly over representation in the legislative branch (also known as Congress). Having power in the legislative branch is important because this branch makes federal laws which all citizens are expected to follow.

Big states wanted representation in the legislative branch to be based on population. This would allow larger states, like Virginia, to have more power in terms of making laws. However, smaller states wanted equal representation in the legislative branch. That way each state had the same amount of power, regardless of size.

Ultimately, the two sides compromised with the House of Representatives being based on a states population and the Senate having two senators from each state, regardless of population.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

the answer is option D

Explanation: Journalists called Alaska purchase of 1867 as Seward's Folly because they viewed Alaska as a remote,snowbound , barren territory. Alaska was purchased by the secretary of state William Seward with 7.2 million $. But some criticized it as Seward's Folly which means Seward's icebox. Primarily this land was covered by ice and it wasn't fertile. So before discovering the gold in 1890 they thought this land just as a icebox of Seward.
