1. Why did people from small states (states with fewer people) want all the states to hav ether same number of votes in the federal legislature? What did they fear?

A: Smaller states would be at a disavantage if votes are dependandant on population. A bigger state would have more delegates than the smaller ones. They feared having less power in elections and less representation, and that larger states would have the control.

2. Why did people from larger states (states with more people) want representation to be based on the population? What was their argument?

A: They believed that larger states should have more representation in Congress, proportionate to the state's population and size. That would give them more authority.

3. Why was the compromise creating a two-house chamber (the House of Representatives and the senate) to balance the needs of smaller and larger states the best solution? Explain.

A: The Compromise pleased the smaller states by giving them equal representation in the Senate regardless of its population, while it met the larger states expectations by determining that the House would be based on proportional representation. This way both large and small states had some authority in the federal legislature.
