Question

How did the great compromise satisfy both small and large states

Answer 1

Answer:

The great compromise satisfied both small and large states in the United States by directing that every state should have equal representation in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

When the United States Constituton was being framed in 1787, a point was reached where there was disagreement between small and large states on the issue of representation.

Delegates from larger states believed they should have more representation in both the Senate and the House of Representatives because they contribute more to the country's resources. The delegates from the smaller states disagreed and wanted equal representation.

The great compromise that was proposed and accepted was that, every state gets the same number of seats in the senate, but in the House of Representatives, seats would be assigned to each state in proportion to its population.
