Explanation:

Throughout the several discussions, conventions, congresses and meetings that the founding fathers, and representatives of the now united states had, there was a constant quarrel regarding the correct distribution of powers between the central government, divided into three branches, and the state governments. The issue was: who would have the most control, and how would representation be distributed among the different states, when it came to the central government branch that to all seemed the most important: Congress. Because of the differences in size, population and power between the small and large states, the more and the less populated, there was disagreement on whether Congress should be unicameral, or bicameral. By 1787, when the final convention met, and the U.S Constitution was drafted, in replacement of the Articles of Confederation, Congress was established as bicameral, and the MOST LIKELY reason for this was that the Fathers wanted to give each of the parties involved in the discussion of power, their fair share. Divide the power of each of the main branches, especially Congress, and increase representation from the part of the states. And this they did by establishing Congress, as we know it today.
