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.

What reception did James Monroe recurve when he toured the country
mojhsa [17]

When President Monroe toured the country for the first time at the beginning of his presidency (in the summer of 1817), in order to assess existing fortifications in the Northern States, but also to get in contact with an ample representation of Americans - no other President before him met as many people as he did - he was warmly received. He had a very affable and likeable personality, and everywhere he went, from Maine to Boston, and from Detroit to Washington D.C., he received a fond and enthusiastic reception. It was, in fact, during Monroe's visit to New England, that a journalist coined the expression "Era of Good Feelings," a phrase that has come to represent the years that spanned Monroe's presidency.
